Heart Sutra Study Group
Six Sunday Evenings: March 10 and 17, April 7, 14, 28, May 12, 6 pm
In this study group, we will do a close reading and exploration of the Heart Sutra. This text lays out all the most important teachings of the Zen tradition, including the nature of reality and the workings of the human mind. This group will include optional readings, discussion, meditation, and creative exploration.
When we first hear the Heart Sutra it sounds completely crazy and nonsensical. It uses words like emptiness that are hard to understand with our rational mind. It also has lots of "no"--no eye, no ear, no mind--that can feel confounding. What is the crazy wisdom of the Heart Sutra?
