About the Heart Sutra Teachings
On June 19, 2013, on a crisp, sunny winter’s morning, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet visited Braybrook in the inner west of Melbourne to teach at Chua Quang Minh Temple, a Vietnamese Temple that His Holiness visited in 2011.
His Holiness accepted the invitation of Venerable Geshe Sonam Thargye, spiritual director of Drol Kar Buddhist Centre, to teach on the Heart Sutra and Eight Verses of Mind Training in Melbourne, and in doing so, also honoured a commitment made to the abbot of Chua Quang Minh, Venerable Phuoc Tan, and the Vietnamese community, to return to the Temple and teach. This acceptance set in motion an extraordinary collaboration between two great Buddhist traditions, Tibetan and Vietnamese, to bring these wonderful teachings to the people of Melbourne.
During the small, intimate gathering, His Holiness delivered a message of love and compassion, of harmony and understanding between religious faiths, and some of the most simple, yet profound, tenets of Buddhist philosophy.
Special thanks and gratitude is extended to all those who organised and supported Heart Sutra 2013 and the production of this DVD. The DVD was produced courtesy of film maker Leigh Tilson.

The Heart Sutra is a concise presentation that brings out the essence or 'heart' of the Buddha’s teachings. Through the gradual process of cultivating wisdom, we can develop our ability to cut through delusions, and understand the ultimate nature of the way in which ‘I’ and all phenomena exist.

The Eight Verses of Mind Training by Langri Tangpa explains the importance of the method aspect of the path. It shows us how, through generating compassion, loving-kindness and altruism, we can transform our ordinary mind into attaining enlightenment.
