The Heart Sutra: A Meditational Manual Kindle Edition
- Kindle
$0.00 Read with Kindle Unlimited to also enjoy access to over 1 million more titles $4.00 to buy - Paperback
$6.00
The Heart Sutra is the most famous of all Buddhist texts. Thousands of commentaries and books have been written about it, but none of them like this one. In this fresh and original interpretation, Andre Doshim Halaw challenges conventional readings of the Heart Sutra by arguing that the scripture is not actually an exposition about emptiness, but in fact a meditation manual. Drawing upon his experience as a Zen teacher and meditation instructor, Andre demonstrates how the sutra uses the ancient Indian meditation technique called Neti-Neti (meaning "Not this, not that") to reveal the Absolute, the unconditioned reality of the Buddha.

Many claim emptiness as ultimate, not understanding that form as well as emptiness are conditioned. The absolute as Andre says is unconditioned. This is the best Commentary on the heart sutra.

Books on spirituality have become white noise to me, not this book ! I have already purchased “God is nothingness” and am looking forward to it.

This short book was extremely interesting and helpful especially the "de-construction" of Emptiness. Really changed my relationship to the Heart Sutra. After I read this, I bought all of the author's other short books.

For those following the path of Advaita Vedanta, purchasing this book means an absolute wastage of time and money... This book is not meant for them...
