There's still time to register for the Heart Sutra online study! Don't miss this opportunity to learn with Dr. Courtney Bruntz as we seek to grow in our understanding!

https://www.lincolnzencenter.org/heart-sutra-class-2026

Known in full as the “Prajnaparamita Hridaya Sutra,” The Heart Sutra is a short Mahayana Buddhist text – just 14 verses in Sanskrit – that forms a part of the larger Prajnaparamita (Perfection of Wisdom) literature, and is chanted often in Buddhist temples to illuminate the nature of reality. Practitioners and spiritual seekers study it to deepen their understanding of the Dharma.
