You are invited to revisit the classic Heart Sutra, with Angie Boissevain as your guide.  Our weekly service begins with this chant which is common to many Buddhist traditions.  Compassion, wisdom, emptiness, the four noble truths, the five skandas, the six paramitas—they’re all contained in this short Sutra.  Our study will explore these concepts and bring them into our lives.  We will use the Red Pine text as the framework, with additional viewpoints from other authors.
