Join us for a special Men’s Day at Colchester Buddhist Centre, where we’ll explore the profound teachings of the Heart Sutra, one of Buddhism’s most revered texts. This introductory day offers an opportunity to delve into the wisdom of this timeless scripture, which reveals the nature of reality and the path to liberation.
We’ll unpack the Heart Sutra’s teachings on emptiness, interconnection, and compassion in a practical and accessible way, through meditation, a talk and group discussions.
