    Limited Space: Due to the nature of online practice there are a limited number of spaces available. Out of respect to all who wish to participate we ask, that before registering, you are committed to attending all sessions for the duration of the course. Naturally, we will be flexible with extenuating circumstances that arise during this time. People will be accepted on a first come first serve basis and their ability to commit to attending all sessions.

    What does the saying ‘the world is empty’ refer to?” “Ānanda, they say that ‘the world is empty’ because it’s empty of self or what belongs to self. Suññataloka Sutta SN 35.85.

    In this short course, we will use the power of good friends practicing Insight Dialogue together to investigate the Buddha’s teachings on suññatā and to experience what lies beyond the label. We will focus on developing practical ways to use this understanding to bring clear seeing and the fruits of the practice into daily life.
