HEART SUTRA
TUSHITA MEDITATION CENTRE, INDIA
OVERVIEW
The Heart Sutra contains the essence of the perfection of wisdom teachings, describing in a very succinct manner the nature of reality and how to go about cultivating the wisdom realizing the nature of reality, the wisdom of emptiness (Skt. shunyata). Without realizing the nature of reality we will not be able to fully liberate ourselves from suffering.

In this course we systematically go through the Heart Sutra looking at how to develop the correct view of emptiness and how then to cultivate the wisdom of emptiness along the various stages of the path to enlightenment.

“Every instance that brings attention to change helps us stabilize the understanding of impermanence as the immutable condition of our lives. As a path toward liberation, intellectual acknowledgement of impermanence must become integrated with embodied experience; then we can gain more support for giving up grasping at those things we cannot hold, whether that means our own bodies or those of people we love, or our roles, or our prestige.”
