Dharma Talk: Who Kidnapped My Heart?

About This Event

Who Kidnapped My Heart? — The Shurangama Sutra Teaches You to See the World with a New Heart

In the rush of daily life, we often feel pulled in countless directions by stress, emotions, and external distractions—as if our own minds have been "kidnapped" without us even realizing it. How can we reclaim our inner stillness and clarity?

Join us at Fo Guang Shan Temple of Toronto for a special Eight Precepts Retreat Dharma Talk with Venerable Miao Huang. Drawing from the profound wisdom of the Shurangama Sutra, Venerable Miao Huang will guide us in recognizing the root of wandering thoughts, freeing our minds from attachment, and discovering how a shift in perspective can transform the way we experience the world.
