New Heart of Wisdom: Profound Teachings from Buddha's Heart

This new and revised commentary to the Heart Sutra--the best known and most popular of all Buddhist scriptures--reveals both its direct and hidden meaning.
This completely new presentation by the author of Modern Buddhism offers truly liberating insights and advice for the contemporary reader. It reveals the profound meaning of the very heart of Buddha's teachings-the Perfection of Wisdom Sutras. The author shows how all our problems and suffering come from our ignorance of the ultimate nature of things, and how we can abandon this ignorance and come to enjoy pure, lasting happiness by developing a special wisdom associated with compassion for all living beings.
