About the Event
In the Diamond Sutra, the Buddha said to Subhuti: "All phenomena are illusory. If you see that all phenomena are non-phenomena, then you see the Tathagata."
Venerable Chang Yuan will explain the interpretation of emptiness as taught in the Diamond Sutra by the Buddha.
After attending this series of seven lectures on the Diamond Sutra, you will understand why the Buddha says, "All Buddhas and the Dharma of Unexcelled Perfect Enlightenment taught by all Buddhas come from this Sutra," and at the same time, says, "The perfection of wisdom is not the perfection of wisdom; it is called the perfection of wisdom."
