ESSENCE OF THE HEART SUTRA - HHDL


RATING:B+

The Heart Sutra is one of the first Buddhist chants I heard during my current life - at a Buddha's Birthday event in the local park, across the street from where I used to dwell. As I first heard it chanted, \i had not previously encountered it – however, later that day, I read about it in a book I had borrowed from the library.

It was much more difficult to study this text than I had imagined, but this might have been due to the fact my father has been ill and I only have half my concentration available. The 37 aspects listing was exceedingly interesting to me. I would like to work with it more, but there are so many texts and sutras/mantras to be learned and studied...

I would recommend this book to those wishing to study this text, read teachings from HHDL, and advance in their practices.
