with Emily Hsu
Friday, February 22: 7pm-9pm Saturday, February 23: 10am-12pm, 2pm-5pm Sunday, February 24: 10am-12pm This is a part of "The Life and Legacy of Lama Tsongkhapa" presented by Tse Chen Ling. The Heart Sutra is one of the most well-known and revered texts of the Mahayana Buddhist tradition. Containing the essence of the profound Perfection of Wisdom Sutras, its main subject matter is the ultimate nature of reality--shunyata or emptiness--the realization of which is the key to ending to our problems and dissatisfaction forever. The Heart Sutra also implicitly teaches the vast stages of the path to enlightenment. In this weekend course, we will unpack some of the most important points taught in this sutra and explore how to relate it to our lives and experience. |

About the Teacher
Emily Hsu completed FPMT's 7-year Masters Program at Istituto Lama Tsong Khapa in Italy in 2004, a condensed version of the geshe studies curriculum. As a graduate of the Masters Program, she is authorized to teach courses which are normally taught by geshes. After completing this intensive study program Emily subsequently completed a ten-month solitary retreat in Spain to integrate the material. Emily tries to do at least a few months of retreat every year in order to deepen her practice, transforming intellectual knowledge into felt experience. Emily Hsu has taught in the Bay Area since 2006 and served as the resident teacher at our sister center Ocean of Compassion Buddhist Center (OCBC) near San Jose, CA where she taught a variety of classes including FPMT’s Basic Program. Emily is also one of the few teachers selected by Lama Zopa Rinpoche as being qualified to lead retreats on shiné (calm abiding).
