Simplifying Emptiness: Ways to Develop Deep Wisdom Without Your Head Exploding
With Don Handrick
March 2, 2025
In-Person and Online Via Zoom
Sunday, March 2
11:00 am – 5:00 pm
Realizing the concept of sunyata, or emptiness, is essential on the Buddhist path but it can be quite difficult to get our heads around it, particularly in the light of the number of detailed and somewhat complicated analyses that the Buddha set out. In this workshop we will explore approaches to this topic that bring emptiness out of the purely philosophical realm and onto the solid ground where we can taste this fundamental truth about ourselves and the world in which we live. In addition to teachings on this subject, the workshop will include practical exercises and guided reflections to enhance our understanding and integration of this vital topic.
