Class: Friday Night Avatamsaka Sutra Lecture with Dr. Martin Verhoeven


7:30 - 8:15 pm Meditation

Last CLASS on May 16, 2025
​
The class will examine the practices and path set forth by the Avatamsaka Sutra, or Flower Ornament Sutra, which describes a cosmos of infinite realms upon realms, mutually containing one another.

The text touches on various topics such as the Bodhisattva path, the interpenetration of phenomena (dharmas), the visionary powers of meditation and the equality of things in emptiness.
