Description
This is an older look at the Heart Sutra, but can be relevant today with all the local, national and international challenges we are confronted with. Unlike many 'religions', Buddhism, perhaps more a philosophy, encourages one to review how we see the world and our relationship to it; more like a psychological guide for how we can have a more grounded life. This writing and the Heart Sutra specifically, I found to be very helpful. Thich Nhat Hanh was written a new translation of the Sutra, but I find this older commentary easier of relate to, cleaner, more applicable to my daily processing of what is happening in the world and in my life. May you be well, know peace and enjoy reading.
