Synopsis:
The radical message of the Heart Sutra, one of Buddhism's most famous texts, is a sweeping attack on everything we hold most dear; our troubles, the world as we know it, even the teachings of the Buddha himself. Several of the Buddha's followers are traditionally said to have suffered heart attacks when they first heard its amazing assertion of the basic groundlessness of our existence - hence the title of this book.
Overcoming fear, the Buddha teaches, is not to be accomplished by shutting down or building walls around oneself, but instead by opening up to understand the illusory nature of everything we fear - including ourselves. In this book of teachings, respected translator and interpreter Karl Brunnholz, guides practitioners through this "crazy" sutra to the profound wisdom and compassion that lies at its core.
"With lively humour and deep scholarly knowledge, Karl Brunnholzl brilliantly unpacks the profundity of the Heart Sutra here for modern readers. In practical and accessible ways, he invites us to join the great practitioners of India and Tibet in contemplating the Heart Sutra's wisdom. We are fortunate to have teachers of Karl's acumen among the growing body of inspiring Western Buddhist teachers." Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche. |
