[4-sessions] The Heart of the Perfection of Wisdom Sūtra (般若波罗蜜多心经)

“Gone, gone, gone beyond—completely gone beyond—Enlightenment, all accomplished.”

The Heart Sūtra is one of the most treasured scriptures in Mahāyāna Buddhism—brief yet profound, simple yet limitless. For centuries, its verses have guided practitioners to realise the nature of emptiness and to see reality as it truly is.

In this special four-part workshop, Venerable Shi Chuan Jia will walk you through insights from his book, The Heart of the "Perfection of Wisdom Sūtra" (般若波罗蜜多心经), offering more than just an explanation of words. Through exploring the Heart Sūtra alongside core Buddhist teachings—the Five Aggregates, the Six Pāramitās, and Dependent Origination—you will uncover how this timeless text speaks directly to our daily lives.

Whether you are new to Buddhist practice or a seasoned practitioner, this session offers a rare opportunity to:

• Understand the Heart Sūtra in its historical and spiritual context
• Reflect on its wisdom of form and emptiness
• Learn how to integrate its teachings into your own practice

Come and let these profound teachings be a mirror, a guide, and a quiet light on your path.

To support a more reflective and interactive learning experience, each intake is kept to a small group. This enables more meaningful exchanges and ensures that each participant receives personalised guidance throughout the course.
