The most famous of all Buddhist scriptures, the Heart Sutra, has inspired, puzzled, and illumined countless generations of practitioners. It contains the eternally enigmatic gem:

Form is emptiness.
Emptiness is form.
Emptiness is not other than form.
Form is not other than emptiness.

Surprisingly, when you know how to read these lines, they bring you directly into the very quality that makes everything possible, namely, the perfection of wisdom. But this wisdom is a mystery — it can only be known through experience. Join us as Ken McLeod leads us on an experiential journey into the mysteries of the Heart Sutra and its central teaching — anything is possible.

KEN McLEOD, is one of the most innovative and highly trained Western teachers of Buddhism. Formerly a translator for Kalu Rinpoche and other Tibetan Buddhist lamas, Ken consistently goes beyond standard terminology to express the essence of Buddha's teachings in clear, precise, contemporary English.

Ken will draw on his latest book, An Arrow to the Heart, an exciting unorthodox commentary on the Heart Sutra. Like this daylong exploration, it is designed to derail any attempt at a conceptual understanding of this classic Buddhist scripture and throw you into the very emptiness to which it points.
