Essence of the Heart Sutra

For more than 2,000 years, the Heart Sutra has been of central importance to millions of Buddhists. Whether memorized, chanted, or studied, this sacred text is often looked to for inspiration. Based on talks the Dalai Lama gave in the spring of 2001, "Essence of the Heart Sutra" is a masterful translation of the Dalai Lama's on the subject--teachings that provide fresh insights on a mainstay of Buddhist practice.
