The Heart Attack Sutra: Your Koan of Fearlessness
Karl Brunnhölzl
The Heart Sutra is one of the most famous and recited texts throughout the Buddhist world. But what does it really mean? During this weekend workshop we will explore this text and discover our own personal version of the sutra as a contemplative tool for our daily life.
