AN ARROW TO THE HEART

by Ken McLeod

Free of the cultural clothing in which Buddhism came to the West, An Arrow to the Heart goes straight to the heart of the Heart Sutra, throwing the reader into the very emptiness the Heart Sutra describes. The Heart Sutra is an ancient and highly revered text in Mahayana Buddhism--a concise presentation of the emptiness of all experience. Almost cryptic in its brevity, it confounds and inspires all who read it.

"Ken McLeod... distills the nature and purpose of Buddhism to make it accessible for any newcomer without dumbing it down." --Yoga Journal

Formerly a translator for Kalu Rinpoche and other lamas, Ken McLeod has taken the same innovative approach to translation, consistently going beyond traditional terminology to express Buddhist teachings in clear, precise, contemporary English.
