Shamatha-Vipashyanā Intensive & talk: THE HEART SŪTRA DEMYSTIFIED
February 12, 2017 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
Join us for a full day of practice and investigation!
This Intensive will include a talk given by Gelong Lodrö Sangpo entitled:
The Heart Sūtra demystified
The Heart Sūtra is one of the most well-known and often recited sūtras but, at the same time, this sūtra has also a very mysterious koan-like character seemingly challenging many of the fundamental Buddhist teachings, like the five skandhas, the twelve āyatanas, the eighteen dhātus, the twelve links of dependent origination, the four noble truths, etc. Many commentaries were written on this sūtra.
Lodrö Sangpo’s talk will focus on the different elements and the basic structure of this sūtra, which explicitly — what is well-known — teaches the wisdom aspect of the path to enlightenment, and implicitly — what is less well-known — teaches the method aspect of the path to enlightenment.
This Intensive if open to all different levels or practitioners.
