The Heart Sutra, or Prajnaparamita Hrdaya, which translates as "The Heart of the Perfection of Wisdom", is the most frequently read and chanted text in the entire Mahayana Buddhist tradition. In it, Avalokitesvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, guides us in awakening to the deep experience of wisdom present in each and every moment.
Join us for a four-week journey through this eye-opening sutra. We’ll be hosting this class in-person and online for folks practicing with us at a distance. Classes will be recorded in case you miss one. Participants will have:
Weekly in-person & online classes on Thursdays to plumb the depths of the Sutra
Regular in-person and online meditation groups to bring the experience to life
Daily emails Monday - Friday for the duration of the course working through the text and integrating its powerful message
An Online Discussion Group to engage with the text conversationally, bringing a fresh, practical application to life
Your guide on this journey will be Sensei Michael, fully-empowered Zen Teacher & Buddhist Priest and Founder of One River Zen
The Heart Sutra Journey begins Thursday, April 13th, 2023 at 7P.
There are four classes in the series - one pass includes all four classes.
We humbly request a donation to attend - but no one will be turned away because of financial circumstances. Email outreach@oneriverzen.org if you need financial assistance to participate.
