New! Special Satsang: Buddha's Explosive Heart Sutra!
The Heart Sutra Satsang: Evaporating Clouds & Revealing the Luminous Truth
Just over two hours of potent clearing — removing the blocks we’ve built against the ever-present, luminous Truth — centered around Buddha’s Heart Sutra.
You will return to this video over and over, deepening into what Buddha called "Prajna wisdom" -- the clear vision in which perceiver and perceived are not two!
At the heart of the teaching is the famous line:
“Form is emptiness; emptiness is form.” — The Heart Sutra
To truly understand this is to be free of all hindrance.
In this powerful satsang, the understanding lands not in the intellect but in the Heart itself. Supported by living references from Chuang Tzu and Lao Tzu (Tao Te Ching), Ramana Maharshi (Advaita Vedanta), A Course in Miracles (Christian Mysticism), and Sengts’an / Sosan (Zen) — the Heart Sutra comes to life as never before.
Together, this dream-team of teachings reveals what so many miss: they all point to the same Self-Luminous Truth — each one clarifying and illuminating the others.
As we begin to receive the full meaning of “form is emptiness, emptiness is form,” it becomes clear that Truth is never attained — it is only revealed when the barriers we’ve unknowingly built against it are seen as empty. And once those barriers are seen through, nothing remains to grasp.
Only Truth itself remains.
There are few scriptures in the world as condensed and explosive as the Heart Sutra.
In a handful of lines, Buddha dismantles every concept the mind could cling to — even enlightenment itself.
“No eye, no ear, no mind… no attainment, and nothing to attain.”
The Heart Sutra isn’t meant for the mind at all — it’s meant to undo the mind's tricks of remaining blind to the Light of Truth.
In this 2-hour satsang, we journey through the living essence of this profound text — not as scholars, but as those ready to see.
Together, we explore what’s really here, and discern it from what the mind has made to be “reality” instead.
By emptying out... everything... we discover radiant Nirvana, beyond separation, beyond any idea or concept, beyond ownership and doership: "Gate Gate Paragate Parasamgate Bodhi Svaha."
When delusive hindrances evaporate, what remains is not nothingness — but the Self-Luminous Truth, the living Suchness every tradition has tried to name.
🕊️ This timeless satsang includes:
- A full, unedited transmission from the live session — spontaneous, alive, and potent.
- A 30-minute concluding video, recorded in the afterglow of the gathering, clarifying and grounding the teaching (plus a short introduction). This includes a map of the 4 states of consciousness (one of which isn’t a “state” at all).
- A written article and koan ensuring no confusion can remain regarding "form and emptiness," and pointing to the absolute nature of what we are, which is present even in and beyond the 3 states - waking, dreaming, sleeping.
- BONUS: The follow-up satsang, titled NOTHING EVER HAPPENS (EXCEPT LOVE...), which grounds the wisdom of the heart sutra in a way of seeing that can be applied in daily life.
This is not a conceptual teaching.
It is a pointer beyond concepts — an experiential unraveling of “me,” “mine,” and “world,” until only what cannot be named remains.
You will return to this video over and over, deepening into the Clarity that comes with what Buddha called "Prajna wisdom" -- the clear vision in which perceiver and perceived are not two!
When the names and the nameless are not-two,
double vision is cured. Duality? Where?
If the Heart Sutra has ever felt mysterious or inaccessible, this satsang will bring it alive — not as doctrine, but as direct revelation.
Live Meeting / Satsang October 28th, 2025 !
☀️ Tuesday, October 28th, 10am Pacific Time! ☀️
Event Includes:
- Sangha Sharing - 45mins. Until you participate in sangha satsang you just don't know the value of it. This is the remark I've been getting from participants. The power of a warm, supportive community, and personal sharing, is great indeed! Here you get to share difficulties and doubts on the path, as well as to make a little fun of and expose the ego.
- Satsang with Daniel - 45 minutes or so. Satsang with Daniel. (I reserve the right to go over time a little ;)) You can join in for the satsang portion only, if you prefer. Enter at 10:45am pacific (we will start around that time).
