The Heart of Transcendental Wisdom

The Main Teaching in the Heart Sutra
Dharma Talk by Bruno Nua

March 31, 2012, Thousand Stars Foundation House, Ladprao Road


The Heart Sutra is one of the most famous, and easy to understand, of all the Mahayana Buddhist texts. It is a great joy to practise and study. Yet this sutra contains some of the deepest and most complex philosophy of all the Buddha's teachings.

In this one-day Dharma Talk and Workshop, Bruno Nua will explore with us these main Buddhist themes so we can better unders9tand the Buddha's teachings. But, more than that, we can also bring this fresh understanding of Dharma into our own practice and daily lives.

The day will include periods of listening, contemplation, discussion and meditation. The talk will be in English with Thai translation.

Address of the Foundation: 695 Ladprao Soi 11, Chatuchak, Bangkok. A map can be requested at the above email address.
