Online Retreat with Venerable Tenzin: Meditations of the Heart Sutra
Saturday, February 1, 2025 8AM PT US
The Heart Sutra is a concise, subtle and deeply profound text that is part of a collection of Mahayana scriptures known as the Prajnaparamita (Perfection of Wisdom) Sutras. Prajnaparamita is often personified as a female bodhisattvadevi or goddess of transcendental wisdom. This is one of the most beloved Buddhist texts and originated from a discourse between Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvrara and Shariputra at Vulture Peak. The main theme of the text illuminates the concepts of emptiness and dependent origination. A celebrated mantra concludes this sutra and has been chanted by millions of Buddhists around the world for over 2000 years.
