Join Ratnaprabha for a drop-in seminar exploring the Heart Sutra , the essence of the Perfection of Wisdom teachings. This short but profound text reveals the Mahayana understanding of Prajnaparamita, the “wisdom that goes beyond,” pointing directly to sunyata (emptiness), or Ultimate Reality. Through the dialogue between Avalokitesvara and Sariputra, the Heart Sutra symbolises how our intellect can learn to listen to deeper spiritual insight.

In this seminar, Ratnaprabha will help lift the veil on this mysterious and much-chanted scripture. Together, we’ll explore how Avalokitesvara’s words dismantle our habitual concepts, from the emptiness of the five skandhas to the meaning of the powerful mantra gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha, the very “heart of the Heart Sutra.”
