The Heart Sutra is perhaps the best loved of all Mahayana scriptures and is recited daily by Buddhists throughout Asia and around the world. \nThe Heart Sutra teachings summarize eloquently the Buddha’s second body of teachings\, the Perfection of Wisdom teachings. Though the Perfection of Wisdom teachings deal primarily with emptiness\, they are permeated by compassion as well. \nCompassion in the Heart Sutra is present in every single line of the teaching’s text. Out of compassion comes wisdom\, and both must be present to attain enlightenment. \n\nKhenpo Yeshe Rinpoche will once again share his knowledge and perspective with us by providing commentary on this very precious teaching. \n\n\nKhenpo Yeshe Rinpoche\n  \n\n\nEVENT DETAILS\nDate/Time:  Saturday & Sunday\, June 6/7\, 9am-12pm & 2pm-5pm \nSuggested Donation:  $85 for entire weekend \nFor More Information\, please contact:\nPati Stein\, 520-465-1882 or pati.c.stein@gmail.com \n\n\n\n\nEvent Location:  1871 N.

This practice will continue night and day through these three days. Participants will be welcome to practice though the entire weekend or drop in for sessions. Preregistration will be required for meals and for overnight stays.  We will be providing more information as the time gets closer. \nThe Empowerment will be offered April 24\, Friday 9am to Noon.  Empowerment is not required to participate. \nWe also welcome volunteers and helpers for such event.

The practice of Vajrayognini belongs to the Mother Tantra class of Anuttarayoga Tantra. \nBy saying the Vajrayogini mantra and performing her practice\, we draw closer to developing her enlightened qualities in ourselves. Though this is a more advanced practice\, beginners are welcome. \nThis event is free and all are welcome.

Meditation practice can vary from week to week.
