Evening Schedule

This spring season, Ecosangha will be discussing a cornerstone of Buddha teaching, the Heart Sutra. Together, we’ll slowly explore this familiar chant and swim through our watery minds to the other shore. The heart sutra, at first glance, is incomprehensible. It is filled with words of consciousness, shapes and forms, and ultimate attainment. These foreign phrases can make the practice feel far from us. However, the deeper we look into the structured passages, the more layers of meaning are found. Through our attention, the obstacles are cleared. Line by line, each brought by a different voice, we will decipher this text together as a Sangha to bring it closer to our hearts. After all, it is called the heart sutra because it is so essential to Buddhist thought. May we find ourselves at home in these words on our zafus.
