THE HEART SUTRA: An Oral Teachingby Geshe Sonam Rinchen, trans. & ed by Ruth SonamThis short gem of a book shows how distorted perceptions and disturbing emotions--arising from our misunderstanding of reality--can be completely uprooted, resulting in a freedom from suffering. Understanding the nature of reality is the key to liberation. The wonderfully concise Heart Sutra is considered the essence of the Buddhas' teachings. The author's long experience in teaching Western students at the Dalai Lama's Library of Tibetan Works and Archives makes The Heart Sutra an ideal introduction for Westerners to this important subject. "Understanding the nature of reality is the key to liberation and The Heart Sutra, the most concise of the Perfection of Wisdom sutras, contains the essence of these teachings of the Buddha. The author's long experience in teaching students at the Dalai Lama's Library of Tibetan Works and Archives makes The Heart Sutra an ideal introduction to this important subject."--The Indian International Journal of Buddhist Studies 1559392010, 9781559392013 | |
