Alex Kerr discusses the Heart Sutra

Показать описание
Culture critic Alex Kerr is interviewed by Ken Rodgers of Kyoto Journal about his 40-year passion for the Heart Sutra, which is a condensed essence of Buddhist thought.
“Finding the Heart Sutra”
Alex’s book Finding the Heart Sutra (Nov 2020) is the result of a forty year quest after the secrets of the Heart Sutra. One of the shortest of all Buddhist writings, it consists of 272 Chinese characters coming to just 56 lines. You can recite the whole thing in about one minute. And yet the Heart Sutra is thought to contain the essence of all Buddhist wisdom. The Heart Sutra’s theme is “Emptiness,” but it’s full of weird paradoxes that have fascinated sages and commentators since it first appeared around 645 AD. It has become the most popular philosophical writing in all of East Asia, with a huge effect from Tibet to Japan.
