Author Description

Bhagwan has said: 'These sutras are the most important of all Buddhist literature'. He has entitled this book 'The Heart Sutra - discourses on the Prajnaparamita-Hridayam Sutra of Gautama the Buddha'. offering you the fulness and depth of expressing that English and the original Sanskrit give together. Prajnaparamita-Hridayam literally translated means 'the perfect wisom of the heart', a paradox that conveys much. This sutra is the very core of what the Buddha said. Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh has said: 'Words are capsules containing remedies', so, contained here is not the literal truth but a heart-to-heart encounter with truth. Reading this book, the 2500 years that have passed since Gautama the Buddha lived on earth, disappear, and we're transported, spellbound, with eternity. The illusions created by time fade away to limitless horizons, ever receding as the clarity that comes with right understanding deepens. Jokes leap at you in momentes of utmost seriousness, bringing you back to an embodying belly-laugh. Then you see for yourself: you are not the mind, nor the body, but that which sees all the happening.
