Vajradhara and Kosala Buddhist Centers of North Carolina present this Heart of Wisdom retreat, led by Gen Kelsang Tilopa.
The Heart Sutra teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni reveal the unsurpassed exalted wisdom of enlightened beings - the emptiness of all phenomena including the self. Gen Kelsang Tilopa will give clear teachings that explain the profound nature of this timeless wisdom, lead meditations that will give participants an unsurpassed experience of emptiness, and show how if we practice and realize the meaning of these teachings, all of our daily problems will diminish and eventually cease.
The meditations and teachings will rely upon the text Heart of Wisdom, the renowned commentary on the Heart Sutra by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
This retreat will bring benefit and insight to persons of all levels of experience, from complete beginner to advanced practitioner.
