SUMMARY:Forget Yourself and Become the Universe
DESCRIPTION:Calligraphing the Heart Sutra\, Taught by Lopön Helen Berliner \nThe practice known as “copying the Heart Sutra” is traditionally revered as a way\, or path\, to actually becoming the wisdom embodied in the words. Like music\, the meaning of the Heart Sutra is universal and readily accessible to anyone willing to listen. Its essence—implied in the words of Zen Master Hakuin\, “Forget yourself and become the universe”—is the Buddha’s realization of the universal nature of everything “just as it is.” This is the awake nature of oneself and others. Beyond intellectual understanding\, it is expressed in the Heart Sutra as a recitation or mantra that evokes the quintessence of Buddhadharma. Writing out the words of the sutra joins body and mind\, heart and hand in that insight. Resting in this meditation is the point. \nWhen: Friday evening\, May 5–Sunday\, May 7\, late afternoon\nTuition: $140 / $150 beginning May 1\n$15 materials fee in addition to tuition. \nSCHEDULE\nFriday: Participants may attend Lopön Helen’s Friday evening talk (7:00-9:00pm) at no extra charge.\nSaturday: 9:30am – 5:30pm\nSunday: 9:30am – 4:30pm\nThere will be a 90 min. lunch break each day. \nTO REGISTER: https://mindroloselling.org/calligraphing-the-heart-sutra/ \nThis contemplative practice weekend is open to all\, with or without any prior experience of meditation or calligraphy.
