Heart Sutra
The Heart Sutra is the most frequently used and recited text in Mahayana Buddhism in countries throughout Asia. It is a condensation of the Perfection of Wisdom (or Projnaparamita Sutras) from the Buddha’s second turning of the wheel of dharma. Through the words of the Buddha of Compassion, Avalokiteshvara (Tib: Chenrezig), we are introduced to a description of the nature of reality that cuts through our usual conceptual framework. Ultimately, it is a roadmap to realizing the wisdom aspect of enlightenment, frequently described as the union of wisdom and compassion—and embodied by Avalokiteshvara.
