The Heart Sutra Part 8 – Śāriputra, Buddha’s Chief Disciple.
Description
Guo Gu on The Heart Sutra
“The juncture at which the sense organ connects to the sense object is where practice happens.” — Guo Gu
Much like Avalokiteśvara awakened through the contemplation of sound, Śāriputra awakened through the contemplation of sight. Guo Gu provides us with a simple practice upon which to build this contemplation.
Since 2023, GuoGu has been offering a series of talks on the Heart Sutra, one of the shortest Mahayana scriptures that expound the core message of Buddhism. The Heart Sutra is also one of the most important scriptures in the Chan/Zen tradition. The series will continue every first Monday of each month into 2024. Each talk will be independent, but we encourage you and your friends to attend all sessions. During these Monday sits, we will begin with a short period of meditation followed by the Dharma talk. There will be opportunity to ask questions and to socialize a bit after the talk. We also have a monthly student discussion group about each month’s talk.
