“The Bodhisattva of Compassion
When he meditated deeply
Saw the emptiness of all five skandas
And sundered the bonds that caused him suffering.”
From the Heart Sutra
The Heart Sutra cannot be grasped rationally: study can only get us so far. But if we pay close attention to our present experience, we can touch that part of ourselves that already understands. By fully experiencing the breath, we can let go of unhelpful self-narratives and discover our true nature.
The day will consist of Mindfulness of Breathing, periods of Just Sitting, and reflection on the Heart Sutra.
Please bring vegan/vegetarian lunch to share.
