By Venerable Chang Hui — Full-Time Lecturer at the Dharma Drum Institute of Liberal Arts
【Lecture 1】The Stabilizing Power of 260 Characters — An Introduction to the Heart Sutra
What is the Heart Sutra about?
What are the five skandhas (aggregates): form, sensation, perception, volition, and consciousness?
How can one perceive that the five aggregates are all empty?
Can the idea that ‘form is precisely emptiness’ help us let go of negativity and attachment?

【Lecture 2】The Art of an Unobstructed Mind: Using Prajñā Wisdom to Unlock the Heart Sutra’s Path to Happiness
What is the secret to transcending all suffering and hardship?
Starting from the mind, redefine the infinite possibilities of emptiness.
Face anxiety with the mindset of freedom and awareness, and live with less stress.
With a mind free from obstruction, transform your life and live fearlessly.
Free ourselves from confusion and imagining, and rediscover the art of living in the present.
