Books:

  • Hakuin’s vivid, tongue-in-cheek-to-cut-through-discourse way of bringing the sutra home delights me.
  • An Arrow to the Heart: A Commentary on the Heart Sutra by Ken McLeod
    • McLeod draws on Hakuin’s methodology and makes it his own, again bringing the sutra home to now.
  • The Heart of Understanding: Commentaries on the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra by Thich Nhat Hanh
    • An awful lot of people have found a way into the sutra through this book.  It’s explanation, and of an unforgettable sort.
  • Heart Sutra: Ancient Buddhist Wisdom in the Light of Quantum Reality by Mu Soeng Sunim
  • Essence of the Heart Sutra by Tenzin Gyatso, the Fourteenth Dalai Lama
    • The Dalai Lama comes at this experience from a couple of different angles together, and the translation here feels a bit different, too.
