<h4>THE HEART SUTRA</h4>
LEARNING THE MEANING OF EMPTINESS
10am - 4pm</h4><h4>with Gen Kelsang Kunden</h4><h4>
“Meditation on emptiness is the universal solution to all our problems. It is the medicine that cures all mental and physical diseases, and the nectar that bestows the everlasting happiness of nirvana and enlightenment.”</h4>
— Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche
The Heart Sutra was spoken by Buddha Shakyamuni over 2600 years ago and has been studied and practiced ever since by generation after generation of meditators leading countless to liberation and enlightenment. The Heart Sutra, or Perfection of Wisdom sutra, reveals the true nature of reality.
Through contemplating the meaning of emptiness in this precious Mahayana text, we too will gain meaningful insights and in this way, we will make significant progress on the path to lasting mental freedom and joy.
Gen Kelsang Kunden will present the Heart Sutra teachings given by Venerable Geshe Kelsang in Portugal in 2013 as well as commentary from this year’s Summer Festival in the UK.
Each session will consist of short teachings, prayers and meditations with refreshments between sessions.
Please pre-register by purchasing a ticket or by emailing info@akbc,ca if you would like to pay at the door.
