Introduction to The Heart Sutra–Understanding Emptiness

The Heart Sutra is thus named because it contains the heart of the Buddha’s teaching on emptiness. A very short text, it is the most concise version of the explanation of prajnaparamita, wisdom that leads to the other side, enlightenment. The approach of emptiness corrects our misunderstanding regarding mind and phenomena. It shows us that neither of these have any independent existence, but rather the whole of manifestation operates according to interdependence.

Trinlay Rinpoche will provide an introduction to the meaning of this particularly profound text as well as its context and progression.

Karma Trinlay Rinpoche is a Buddhist master and scholar. Born of French and American parentage, Trinlay Rinpoche was recognized as a tulku, or manifestation of a Buddhist master by the 16th Karmapa (1923-1981). He is among the rare tulkus born in the West and his dual culture makes him an exceptional teacher.
