About this event
What to expect
The Heart Sutra captures the very essence of Buddha's wisdom. Though brief, it is one of the most beloved of his teachings. Even a small insight into this profound text transforms how people understand themselves and the world around them.
In this special silent retreat with visiting teacher Gen Kelsang Tonglam, you will explore the meaning of the Heart Sutra through teachings, guided meditation, and recitation. Held in silence to support deeper reflection and concentration, the retreat offers a rare opportunity to internalise these essential insights, reduce fear and inner obstacles, and develop a deeper experience of peace through understanding emptiness.
Gen Kelsang Tonglam is the National Spiritual Director of Kadampa Buddhism for East Asia, who has trained under the guidance of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche for over 30 years. He is renowned for his ability to present Buddha's teachings in simple and practical ways, injecting a renewed enthusiasm and driving force in people's ordinary lives.
