In the Vajra Cutter Sutra (金刚经), Buddha concluded with the famous verse: “As a star, a visual aberration, a lamp, an illusion, dew, a bubble, a dream, lightning, and a cloud—view all the compounded like that.” Why are we taught to view our changing reality as a star and so forth? What do the similes mean? How do we apply this teaching in our daily life?

In this talk, Khen Rinpoche Geshe Chonyi, an esteemed scholar and practitioner, will share on the main subject matter of the Vajra Cutter Sutra and elaborate on this verse. He will also lead participants through a short meditation on the verse and respond to questions.

“Nothing lasts forever”, they said. 🤍

Although we know that we won’t live forever, it is hard to let go of the things we love❤️, including ourselves. How do Buddhists then face the ups and downs of life using impermanence and non-attachment? 🤷🏻‍♀️
