**Winner of the Thornton Wilder Prize for Translation
The most influential Buddhist sutra in the Mahayana tradition, from one of the world's preeminent translators of religious texts**
The Heart Sutra is Buddhism in a nutshell. It has had the most profound and widereaching influence of any text in Buddhism. This short text covers more of the Buddha's teachings than any other scripture, and it does so without being superficial or hurried. Although the original author is unknown, he was clearly someone with a deep realization of the Dharma.
For this new English translation, Red Pine, awardwinning translator of Chinese poetry and religious texts, has utilized various Sanskrit and Chinese versions, refining the teachings of dozens of ancient teachers together with his own commentary to offer a profound wordforword explication. Divided into four parts and broken into thirtyfive lines to make it easier to study or chant, and containing a glossary of names, terms, and texts, The Heart Sutra is a wise book of deep teaching destined to become the standard edition of this timeless statement of Mahayana truth.
