Book Reviews of The Heart Sutra
Book Review: Essential for those interested in Buddhism
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a work of literary art. It is not just a translation of the Heart Sutra (considered one of the most important of all Buddhist texts), but a line by line analysis. The author describes the possible origins, interpretations and then explains why he settled on the translation given. The text is concise, so it's easy to read it without being lost in the writing.
It may not be the best "first" Buddhist book, but for those who want to increase their depth of understanding on Buddhism, read it now!
