Next Tuesday: the last discussion of The Heart Sutra.

The discussion of the Heart Sutra these past weeks has been stimulating.  Red Pine does a great job taking it apart and in giving its historical and philosophical context.  He makes a sutra chanted sometimes mechanically into a very penetrating tool to break up our conceptualizations.  This coming Tuesday we'll finish with the last lines, those relating to the mantra "Gate, gate, paragate, parasamgate.  Bodhi sattva." Join us.
