In its enigmatic 25 lines, the Heart Sutra is one of the most difficult of Buddhist Scriptures but also one of the most rewarding. It is a basic text of Mahayana Buddhism and recited daily in monasteries and by practicing Buddhists throughout the world.There are many commentaries, ancient and modern, on this text, but I found this recent book by the Dalai Lama, "Essence of the Heart Sutra" an outstanding place for the beginner to start. The Dalai Lama's book also will reward study by those having great prior familarity with the text. The book is based on a series of lectures that the Dalai Lama gave at the Land of Medicine Buddhist center in California and at the Three Rivers Dharma in Pittsburg.This work is much more than a commentary on the Heart Sutra. It is equally valuable as an introduction to Buddhism and as a compendium of the teachings of the Dalai Lama. It is instructive to see how the Dalai Lama weaves his broad material together into a coherent whole. Thus, in the first part of the book, the Dalai Lama offers broad-based comments on the spiritual dimension of life, of the relationship between Buddhism and other religions, and of the fundamentals of Buddhist teachings. It is inspiring to hear words of ecumenicism, tolerance, and willingness to learn from others. It is also important to read the Dalai Lama's exposition of the basic Buddhist teaching of Dependent Origination, which is, in later sections of the book, tied masterfully to the interpretation of the Heart Sutra.The second part of the book offers a translation and commentary on the Heart Sutra. Consistent with his opening chapters, the Dalai Lama stresses the continuity between this Mahayana text and its earlier predecessors in Theravada Buddhism. (Many other commentaries emphasize how the Heart Sutra departs from and differs from its predecessors.) In addition, in a few brief pages the Dalai Lama offers great insight into the fundamental teaching of emptiness --- that reality is "empty of intrinsic existence." He points out clearly that the Sutra does not teach that nothing exists -- a nihilistic doctrine. Instead, the Dalai Lama relates the teaching of the Sutra to the doctrine of Dependent Origination -- stressing the lack of independent existence, substantiality, and ego. He discusses different ways in which various Buddhist schools interpret the doctrine of emptiness -- including the "mind-only" school and two variants of the "middle-way" school. This material is difficult but important and not stressed in various other commentaries that I have read.The final part of the Dalai' Lama's study discusses the Bodhisattva path of Mahayana Buddhism -- the decision to dedicate oneself to the welfare of others -- and relates it to the text of the Heart Sutra. There are teachings and practices here on learning to practice lovingkindness, also set forth in other writings of the Dalai Lama, but informed here by the discussion of emptiness and nonclinging in the Heart Sutra. This discussion, and the short epilogue, tie together the ecumenical material in the book with the elucidation and analysis of the Heart Sutra.This book presents difficult, profound teachings in an accessible readable way. It is ideal for the beginning student or for those who want to explore the Heart Sutra to see what it might offer. It also presents an exposition of this text by the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism. For those who want to read further and compare and contrast other approaches to this inexhaustible text, I recommend Red Pine's study "The Heart Sutra" and Donald Lopez' "Elaborations of Emptiness", a detailed and difficult analysis of the Heart Sutra in light of its earliest Indian and Tibetan commentaries.Robin Friedman
This is a very well written exposition of the Heart Sutra. The Dalai Lama is one of the great teachers of Buddhism. No matter what your spiritual or religious belief's are I think you will get something out of this book. For those who have only read or chanted the Heart Sutra I recommend you read this book as you will probably have a new understanding of it.
This is a beautiful book that contains the purest and delicious nectar of the Dharma of wisdom and ecumenism of His Holiness Dalai Lama, the Buddha of Compassion. It is a text for beginners as advanced students who are wants to delve into the Prajnaparamita teachings.It begins with an introduction full of information about the main topics of teachings of Lord Buddha and the origins and context of the Prajnaparamita texts.His Holiness approach Emptiness from the philosophical Madhyamaka Prasangika perspective, typical of Gelug school. This a more difficult way to understand Emptiness and to integrate to our daily life since it`s an incomplete approach. I found this method excessively intelectual but I understand that H.H. represents the schoolar tradition of the ancient Nalanda.
This is a treasure of Our Shared Heart.The Wisdom of one of the Living Buddhas, His Holiness The Dalai Lama, touches the precious jewel of the desire to be free in every human heart.Light and Love are your birthright through walking the Bodhisattva Path.I wish you Blessings of the Buddha by gifting yourself with this book.Go, go, go beyond, and establish yourself in Enlightenment.Stephen Skelton/Altair
Hmmm, a remarkable book by a remarkable man on a remarkable sutra! The Heart Sutra is the essence of the Perfection of Wisdom class of sutras, which represent the "Second Turning of the Wheel of Dharma". That is to say, the second main set of teachings by the Buddha. The First Turning was on the Four Noble Truths. The Third Turning was on Buddha Nature. But the Second Turning was on the nature of reality, emptiness -- in other words, the important stuff!This is a hard literature, crystalized in the Heart Sutra, which is only a few pages but very dense (versions of it are available on-line). Here the Dalai Lama provides an excellent commentary on this difficult text by placing it within its entire Buddhist context. The result is that one is led step by step to the deepest understanding of this sutra, which is really the most profound element of the Buddha's teaching. Remarkably, then, this book can be grasped by the beginning student as well as much more experienced students. A crucial element in Buddhism is familiarization: going back over something again and again until it is understood very deeply, and then realized personally through meditation. So such approaches, that begin from the basics and move up to very profound topics, should not be seen as needless repetition, but as opportunities to really internalize the teachings.The style of His Holiness's language is always conversational, easy to read, and humorous. This is no exception. The book is also beautiful and a pleasure to read. Most important, it is a crucial teaching that can help transform our lives.
Very good explanation of Heart Sutra by His Holiness The Dalai Lama.
The Heart Sutra can be a bit of a shock to someone extending an inquiring toe into Buddhism for the first time. The book should be read slowly, with many pauses. It is a challenging read. It has become the center for my studies, but I have been a Zen Buddhist for seven years. The book is a translation, with editing, of discourses given by the Fourteenth Dalai Lama.For anyone interested in Buddhism as either religion or philosophy, or in the study of the great religions, it is a valuable buy.
we are using this book for our study with a Buddhist group. We read it and discuss it. As with the Dalai Lama's beliefs, anyone can use the teachings for good in their lifes
