Last weekend, I read from Part One of Imparting the Absolute Truth through the Heart Sutra at Hua Zang Si, San Francisco, California. We were able to cover part of the background or context for this sutra and read what H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III wrote about three of the main concepts in the title of that sutra–“Prajna (marvelous, supreme, or pure wisdom),” “Parami (the other shore),” and “Ta (Dhyana or meditation).”
