Publisher's Summary
For more than 2,000 years, the Heart Sutra has been part of the daily life of millions of Buddhists. This concise text, so rich and laden with meaning, concentrates the very heart of Buddhism into a powerful and evocative teaching on the interdependence of all reality.
In Essence of the Heart Sutra, the Dalai Lama masterfully unpacks the Heart Sutra so that any listener can benefit from its teachings - teachings meant to help us release ourselves from suffering and live with true compassion.
Comprised of his "Heart of Wisdom" talks originally delivered to thousands of listeners in 2001, the book offers the Dalai Lama's commentary as well as his easy-to-follow overview of Buddhist philosophy that places the sutra within its historical and philosophical context.
With additional contributions by scholar and translator Thupten Jinpa, Essence of the Heart Sutra is the authoritative presentation of a text seminal to the world's religious heritage.

Brilliantly illuminating liberating
A thorough and comprehensive and yet concise presentation of The Heart Sutra. I will need to listen a number of times to pull all the subtlest points to their heart felt conclusion. My only criticism is if the narrator who reads too quickly for such words and meaning, dense with required comprehension. We are but children at his feet.

Beautiful narration
Gabra Zackman reads this with a beautiful, silky and interesting voice. It is a joy to hear her read this well written book and her tone helped me absorb the message.
