The Heart Sutra
Teachings and Silent Meditation Retreat With Gen Kelsang Tonglam
This popular event includes 4 weekly teachings followed by a silent meditation retreat starting in August.

In the Heart Sutra, Buddha shares with us the path to the supreme peace of nirvana – these are the teachings from his heart. Buddha wants nothing more than for us to reach an unshakeable inner peace and it is through the realization of emptiness that we will attain this experience.

You can choose to attend Part 1 only, but to reap the most benefits, we recommend you to attend both Part 1 and Part 2.

Part 1 – Teachings

7:30pm – 9:15pm
