I will be reading again from an unpublished translation of Expounding the Absolute Truth through the [Prajna Parami-ta] Heart Sutra by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III on Sunday, April 5 at the temporary home of the Holy Heavenly Lake Xuanfa Dharma Center at 19099 Lemon Street, Buddhist Town, Hesperia, California. We held our first class at this site on July 20 with an introduction to the Heart Sutra and it’s title and again on August 17 and September 21, 2025. We are planning on coming to Hesperia every month until winter weather sets in.

This class will continue our investigation into the meaning of the first word in the title–“PRAJNA” by studying Lessons 7 & 8 on the third kind of prajna–intrinsic-reality prajna. This includes understanding non-duality, qigong, Mahamudra of Liberation, Zen, the rainbow body, awakening and more. We encourage questions and discussion and will take as much time as we need to cover this series on just the five words in the title of the Heart Sutra–the Prajna Parmi-ta Heart Sutra. This series of classes provides the framework for understanding the truth of the entire Prajna Parami-ta Heart Sutra.
