Unlocking the Wisdom of the Heart Sutra

The Heart of the Perfection of Wisdom Sutra, often just called the Heart Sutra, is very important in Mahayana Buddhism. It’s the summary of the Diamond Sutra, which is itself the summary of the Great Perfection of Wisdom Sutra—a sutra of six hundred volumes. Though the Heart Sutra is a very short sutra, it contains many Buddhist concepts. If you understand the meaning of the Heart Sutra, then you have a very good grasp of the Buddha’s teachings.
