Online: Four Seals and the Heart Sutra
November 9, 2021 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm PST

Four Seals of Buddhism and the Heart Sutra
with Ven. Thubten Chodron
hosted by Centro Budista Rechung Dorje Dragpa
7:30 – 9 pm Central (Mexico) Time / 5:30 pm to 7 pm Pacific Time
In this teaching, Ven. Chodron will give an introduction to the subject. They are called “the four seals” because they “seal” a philosophy as Buddhist. Ven. Chodron will explain the notion of impermanence (first seal) and its effects on our life; then the unsatisfactory nature of all phenomena, dukkha (second seal); the lack of inherent nature of all phenomena (third seal), and, finally, the state of nirvana (fourth seal). Throughout her explanation, she will offer a context to apprehend the wisdom that understands reality.
En esta enseñanza, Ven. Chodron dará una introducción al tema. Se habla de “cuatro sellos” porque estas nociones “sellan” una filosofía como budista. Ven. Chodron explicará el concepto de impermanencia (primer sello) y sus efectos en nuestra vida; en seguida, la naturaleza insatisfactoria de todos los fenómenos, o dukkha (segundo sello); la ausencia de naturaleza inherente de todos los fenómenos (tercer sello), y finalmente, el estado de nirvana (cuarto sello). Como trasfondo a su explicación, ofrecerá un contexto que permite entender la sabiduría que comprende la realidad.
