“All phenomenon are the nature of the mind,
and the mind is the nature of emptiness.” -Buddha
Buddha’s wisdom teachings allow us to quickly transform our difficult emotions into an energetic, spacious, and peaceful state of mind that can continually nourish ourselves and others.
In this retreat, we will steep ourselves in the Prajnaparamita (perfection of wisdom) teachings expounded by Buddha in the Heart Sutra, and preserved through an unbroken, living lineage to our modern day. Through practicing these precious instructions, we can become alchemists, transforming our lead-like emotional difficulties into the gold of Buddha’s blissful mind. The Prajnaparamita teachings in particular are very skillful methods to overcome our most deeply entrenched negative minds and habits.
