SynopsisA radical new interpretation of one of the most important Buddhist sutras, the Heart Sutra--from the great Zen Master and author The Miracle of Mindfulness . Thich Nhat Hanh's accessible reading of the Heart Sutra demystifies the foundational teachings of the Buddha, making this a perfect introduction to Buddhism for beginners. In September 2014, Thich Nhat Hanh completed a profound and beautiful new English translation of the Prajñaparamita Heart Sutra, one of the most important, well-known Buddhist sutras and part of the very foundation of Buddhist thought. The Heart Sutra is recited daily in Mahayana temples and practice centers throughout the world. This new translation came about because Thich Nhat Hanh believes that the patriarch who originally compiled the Heart Sutra was not sufficiently skillful with his use of language to capture the intention of the Buddha's teachings--and has resulted in fundamental misunderstandings of the central tenets of Buddhism for almost 2,000 years. In The Other Shore , Thich Nhat Hanh provides the new translation with commentaries based on his interpretation. Revealing the Buddha's original intention and insight makes clear what it means to transcend duality and pairs of opposites, such as birth and death, and to touch the ultimate reality and the wisdom of nondiscrimination. By helping to demystify the term "emptiness," the Heart Sutra is made more accessible and understandable., In this new edition of The Heart of Understanding , venerable Thich Nhat Hanh offers a completely new translation of the Prajñaparamita Sutra, regarded as the essence of Buddhist teaching. The ancient sutra is given a contemporary treatment, offering subtle and profound teachings on non-duality and the letting go of all preconceived notions so that one remains open to all the wonders of life. The commentary is one of the most simple, clear, concise, and understandable treatments of this very important Buddhist sutra and has not changed in this new edition. The Heart Sutra is recited daily in Mahayana temples and practice centers throughout the world. Thich Nhat Hanh's translation and commentary are the fruit of the author's more than sixty years of monastic study and practice. He describes the sutra as "a precious gift to us, the gift of fearlessness." In this new translation, Nhat Hanh reinterprets the most misunderstood of the Buddha's teachings. Instead of the usual formulation of the sutra: "in emptiness there is no form, feelings, perceptions, mental formations, or consciousness," Nhat Hanh says what the Buddha really meant is that, "in emptiness, form, feelings, and so on, are not separate self entities." Emptiness of self doesn't mean the nonbeing of self, just as the emptiness of all phenomena doesn't mean the nonexistence of phenomena. All phenomena are products of interdependent co-arising; this is the main point of the prajñaparamita teaching. A flower is made only of non-flower elements, so we can say that the flower is empty of a separate existence. But that doesn't mean that the flower is not there. The Heart Sutra is Buddhism in a nutshell, containing only 632 characters in the traditional Chinese translation. Despite its brevity, it covers more of the Buddha's teachings than any other scripture and has had the most profound and wide-reaching influence of any text in Buddhism., This new translation of the Buddha's most important, most studied teaching offers a radical new interpretation. In September, 2014 Thich Nhat Hanh completed a profound and beautiful new English translation of the Praj aparamita Heart Sutra, one of the most important and well-known sutras in Buddhism.

By helping to demystify the term "emptiness," the Heart Sutra is made more accessible and understandable. Prior to the publication of The Other Shore , Thich Nhat Hanh's translation and commentaries of the Heart Sutra, called The Heart of Understanding , sold more than 120,000 copies in various editions and is one of the most beloved commentaries of this critical teaching. This new book, The Other Shore , supersedes all prior translations., A radical new interpretation of one of the most important Buddhist sutras, the Heart Sutra-from the great Zen Master and author The Miracle of Mindfulness .

An Amazing Book from an Amazing Teacher
This is my new favorite Zen book! I learned more about the Heart Sutra in the first three chapters than I did in three years at the local Zen center. Thich Nhat Hanh gave us a huge gift when he re-translated the Heart Sutra. I finally understand it. What an amazing teacher he is.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
