Publisher's Synopsis
The Heart Sutra is one of the most beloved and frequently studied teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha, which he gave during the second turning of the wheel (teaching) of the Buddha dharma. The beauty of this precious sutra is its simplicity, almost like a poem, which this little gift book embraces.
For those new to the dharma, or deep thinkers who have read many translations of this profound truth - and everyone in between - this presentation of the words of the Buddha is a gift to all.
"The Heart Sutra - Perfection of Wisdom" contains quotes from great masters, a section with word definitions, and a recommended reading list to learn more. A clean and simple offering that gives the reader the exciting opportunity to find their own understanding of profound truth and how it speaks to their own heart.
Original artwork by Sangdrol Blanchard enhances the text with the beauty of Tibet, India and the far reaching mountains of the Himalayas. Expressing the lineage and ancient history of the sutra itself, warm, subtle illustrations help bring context to the teaching for todays reader.
