Krátky popis
'An erudite and charming book . . .both a primer and a paean to one
of the central texts of Buddhism, known as the Heart Sutra. . .Alex
Kerr delves into the Japanese soul' Literary ReviewThe material
world is itself emptiness. Emptiness is itself the material world.
Powerful, mystical and concise, the Heart Sutra is believed to
contain the condensed essence of all Buddhist wisdom.This brief
poem on emptiness has exerted immense influence throughout Asia
since the seventh century and is woven into the fabric of daily
life. Yet even though it rivals the teachings of Laozi and
Confucius in importance, this ancient Buddhist scripture remains
barely known in the West. During the many years he has spent living
in Japan, Alex Kerr has been on a quest after the secrets of the
Heart Sutra.Travelling from Japan, Korea, and China, to India,
Mongolia, Tibet and Vietnam, this book brings together Buddhist
teaching, talks with friends and mentors, and acute cultural
insights to probe the universe of thought contained within this
short but intense philosophical work. 'Marvellous ... a life's work
...a brilliant literary form, weaving reflections of the sutra with
those on Alex's own magical mystery tour' Alexandra Munroe, Asian
Art scholar and curator
