On January 4, 2025 we will continue our study of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III’s Expounding the Absolute Truth through the Heart Sutra by discussing DCB 24-Expounding the Absolute Truth through the Heart Sutra: PART TWO-III by studying 196 questions related to the next course covering the following: “. . . no suffering, no accumulation, no cessation, and no path; no wisdom, also no attainment. With nothing to attain, therefore, . . .” This quote from the Heart Sutra includes more on prajna, phowa, qigong, esoteric Dharma, the five vidyas, repentance, and more.
This is the third of a series of four Learning from Buddha College and Seminary (LFBCS) courses that uses the text, meaning, and principles of the Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra to transmit the Dharma. DCB24 will begin with a two-hour zoom session on January 4, 2025, 9:00 am Pacific Time from the Holy Vajrasana Temple in Sanger, California. We will start with Lesson 22 using a phrase from a famous sentence from the Heart Sutra, “. . . NO SUFFERING, NO ACCUMULATION, NO CESSATION, AND NO PATH; . . .” I will lead from this list of questions and read from H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III’s Expounding the Absolute Truth through the Heart Sutra to provide the answers to these questions. The sessions will be recorded so you can return to study the text and gain insight from the discussion. We finished the first course (DCB22) in this series on August 3, 2024 and the second (DCB23) on November 16, 2024. We only have a preliminary translation of this awesome text. You can still join the discussions and even enroll in the courses we have already completed to hear the rest.
