Apr 12, 2010 · The Heart Sutra is not attributed to the Buddha but to a Hindu deity. The 1st half of Heart Sutra has similarities to the 2nd Sermon of the Buddha however Sariputta was not the Buddha's disciple when the Buddha spoke the 2nd sermon. To end, my sense of it is the Heart Sutra is some spiritual poetry written 800 to 1000 years after the Buddha.

Feb 21, 2023 · I wasn't expecting that kind of analysis.

Sep 27, 2011 · I'd very much like to take a look at them. I'd just like to say that I greatly appreciate the prajnaparamita sutras..

As the years passed, I grew to be more and more in alignment with them, and now I really honestly cannot express how grateful ...
Jan 6, 2015 · Huineng tearing up the sutras. 13th century Chinese inkbrush. One of the things that most attracted me to Zen Buddhism all those years ago was the entire "transmission outside of sutras" philosophy. You see, like many Western people, I found myself locked out of the religion I was raised in because some of the beliefs and attitudes they took ...
Jun 8, 2012 · The Heart Sutra may be short, but it's a tough one to understand. For example, in all the things that are negated in that sutra, it seems to me that it also negates the Four Noble Truths and the Eight-fold Path.
