Decoding the Heart Sutra — part 1

from Listening to the Buddha

The Heart Sutra is the most recited, copied, and studied text in all schools of Mahayana Buddhism. It reviews the foundations of Buddhist philosophy while revealing the profound Perfection of Wisdom: the doctrine of emptiness. In this class series, we will study the Sutra in Sanskrit, discuss the key philosophical points of Buddhism, and reveal the deep teachings on emptiness. In part 1 we introduce the text, recite it in Sanskrit, discuss the meaning of the title, set the stage, and introduce the main characters. Show notes include the Sutra in Sanskrit and English, along with video of the class and other visual aids.
