Join us for calm abiding meditation (with light instruction if helpful), followed by discussion of the Heart Sutra–a profound and accessible text. This meeting is open to all, regardless of experience level. You are welcome to join for both meditation and study, or just one or the other. These meetings happen online. (On the 2nd Sunday of each month we meet in person at Media Fellowship House in Media, PA.)
One of the most frequently recited sutras in all of mahayana buddhism, The Heart Sutra is the Buddha’s concise teaching on emptiness, the ultimate truth that all phenomena are empty of any essential nature, and on the perfection of the wisdom that realizes that truth. Please join us as we unpack together this brief but elegant and potent sutra.
