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.

“One may be tempted to assume that whenever we ask questions of nature, of the world there outside, there is reality existing independently of what can be said about it. We will now claim that such a position is void of any meaning. It is obvious that any property or feature of reality ‘out there’ can only be based on information we receive. There cannot be any statement whatsoever about the world or about reality that is not based on such information. 
​​It therefore follows that the concept of a reality without at least the ability in principle to make statements about it to obtain information about its features is devoid of any possibility of confirmation or proof. This implies that the distinction between information, that is knowledge, and reality is devoid of any meaning."                                                                                                                                                                                              Anton Zeilinger (Quantum Physicist)
