Join Venerable Juewei for a Dharma talk on The Fullness of Emptiness, drawing from the deep wisdom of the Diamond Sutra. As one of the most revered texts in the Mahayana tradition, the Diamond Sutra invites us to look deeply into the nature of emptiness and reality, encouraging us to let go of fixed views and discover the freedom that comes from non-attachment.

Venerable Juewei will explore passages from the sutra and reflect on how its insights can nurture wisdom, compassion, and a sense of ease in daily life. Whether you're encountering these teachings for the first time or returning to them with fresh eyes, all are welcome to listen, reflect, and explore together.
