~ Our Foundation Program ~

Foundation Program (FP) classes are designed for those who wish to follow the Buddhist path more systematically.

This book is an extensive commentary to the Heart Sutra (the essence of Buddha's teachings on emptiness, the ultimate nature of reality). It reveals the Sutra's explicit and implicit meanings and includes a detailed explanation of how to gain an initial understanding. It provides a firm basis for meditation on emptiness, which leads to eradication of ignorance and the experience of permanent inner peace. Also included is a special practice of Sutra recitation for overcoming obstacles and hindrances.
