Publisher Marketing: Discover the most influential Buddhist sutra in the Mahayana Buddhism tradition--from one of the world's preeminent translators of religious texts.

Simplified organization, helpful glossaries, and word-for-word analysis make understanding Buddhist scripture easier than ever.

The Heart Sutra is Buddhism in a nutshell. It has had the most profound and wide-reaching influence of any text in Buddhism. This short text covers more of the Buddha's teachings than any other Buddhist scripture, and it does so without being superficial or hurried. Although the original author is unknown, he was clearly someone with a deep realization of the Dharma.

For this award-winning English translation of the Heart Sutra, an award-winning translator of Chinese poetry and religious texts utilizes various Sanskrit and Chinese versions, refining the teachings of dozens of ancient teachers together with his own commentary to offer a profound word-for-word explication.

Divided into 4 parts and broken into 35 lines to make it easier to study or chant, and containing a glossary of names, terms, and texts, The Heart Sutra is a wise book of deep teaching destined to become the standard edition of this timeless Buddhist sutra.
