Nuts & Bolts of Zen Practice (June)
with Ron Hogen Green, Sensei
June 16, 2023
In the June session of Nuts and Bolts, everyone is welcome to join us as we continue to investigate the Heart Sutra.
The Heart Sutra is one of Buddha’s most famous teachings. This ongoing series of talks on the Heart SutraIt explores the true nature of all phenomena, both from the perspective of emptiness and within the activities of living a life of compassion.
There will be time for questions and discussion set aside. These seminars were designed with Practicing Members in mind, but they are perfect for all those looking to explore more deeply as well as those newer to practice.
Our online programs are offered by donation so that everyone can participate. We appreciate your support.
