Commentaries on the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra
Ratings2
Average rating5
Called a new translation of the Heart Sutra but Hanh offers his own innovations by, in a way, adding his own material to the sutra to avoid “misunderstandings”
His commentaries include fun anecdotes and this is a work very much aimed at practitioners but also includes engagement with Sanskrit and Chinese Buddhist terminology which vary from clear explanations of these terms to modern revisions of Buddhist ideas.
My newer edition has the new name, “The Other Shore”
