The Heart Sutra is the most well-known sutra in Mahayana Buddhism. Despite its brevity, this text encapsulates the essence of the extensive Perfection of Wisdom sutras. It serves as a cornerstone for both Sutrayana and Tantrayana traditions and includes the mantra of the perfection of wisdom, guiding practitioners along the five Mahayana paths.

We are deeply honored to welcome Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche Lobsang Jampa to give a commentary on this extraordinary text.

As one of the last generation of Tibetan Buddhist scholars to begin their educational careers in Tibet prior to the Chinese invasion, Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche Lobsang Jampa has played an instrumental role in the reestablishment and preservation of Tibetan Buddhist traditions in exile, and in the spread of Tibetan Buddhism to the Western world. Highly regarded for his scholarship and depth of religious practice, Rinpoche teaches frequently in New York, Washington D.C., and at Do Ngak Kunphen Ling (DNKL), a Tibetan Buddhist center in Connecticut, where he hosted a visit from the Dalai Lama in 2012. He is abbot emeritus of Gyumed Tantric College, head of Mey College’s Thewo regional house at Sera Monastery—one of the largest Tibetan monasteries in exile—and Spiritual Director of DNKL.
