The Heart Sutra – A Weekend with Matthew Eades

Friday 26th June to Sunday 28th June 2020

The Heart Sutra is one of the most profound and influential teachings of the Mahayana Path. In its many variations it lays out the essence of the path to full awakening. So profound is the environment that is envisaged that it is often referred to as “ the Mother of the Buddhas”. In this short weekend we will touch on some of the ways of encouraging the conditions that will help this environment flourish by exploring some of the meditative pathways that have been developed over the last two millennia. This weekend is accessible to all practitioners. It also acts as a seal on the four week study course on the Heart Sutra that will be offered in Nelson in June.

Matthew Eades

Matthew is a seasoned practitioner who has been weaving the principles of Buddhadharma into his life for over 45 years. His formal training came primarily under the auspices of the Ven. Namgyal Rinpoche, culminating in a three year dedicated teacher training program in the mid1980’s. Since then he has structured his life to support and sustain the teachings of awakening in a more directed fashion, working primarily with his partner Bonni Ross to expand the experience of transformation in everyday life for all beings.
