Emptiness ...is Form: The Heart Sutra","description":"The \u003cb\u003eHeart Sutra\u003c\/b\u003e is one of the most well-known texts in all of Buddhism. In less than 250 words, one can read the account of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara's experience of profound meditation. The \u003cb\u003eHeart Sutra\u003c\/b\u003e is also one of the most elegant expressions of the Buddha's teachings. It captures the essence of the \u003ci\u003eThe Four Noble Truths\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Noble Eightfold Path\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Doctrine of Dependent Arising\u003c\/i\u003e in its verses. The \u003cb\u003eHeart Sutra\u003c\/b\u003e is more than just a record of the Prajnaparamita experience of the Bodhisattva. If we so choose, it can serve as a guide, a \"finger pointing at the moon\", for us, as we struggle to make sense of the senselessness of today's society. The Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, in his narration, is telling us that the state of Prajnaparamita is available to all human beings. It is said: \"We are all, in essence, Buddhas. We only need to wake up to that fact.\" The \u003cb\u003eHeart Sutra\u003c\/b\u003e can be our wake-up call. \u003cb\u003eForm is... EMPTINESS ...is Form\u003c\/b\u003e introduces the reader to: - the Buddha, Avalokiteshvara and Shariputra in a way that is a bit out of the ordinary - the Buddha's core teachings as found in; \u003ci\u003eThe Four Noble Truths\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Noble Eightfold Path\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Doctrine of Dependent Arising\u003c\/i\u003e - the \u003cb\u003eHeart Sutra\u003c\/b\u003e using the Buddha's teachings as corroboration of the profound wisdom expressed in its verses. - a radical world view that \"\u003ci\u003eForm is emptiness, emptiness is form\u003c\/i\u003e\" with a number of not-so-radical examples of how one can begin one's own journey of self-discovery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Wydler Haduch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3952440922\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783952440926\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zentrum Fur Zen-Buddhismus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.28d","brand":"Robert Wydler Haduch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44201976955135,"sku":"9783952440926","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0bd71607-3285-4067-bd26-b8b5ebe72a8e.jpg?v=1691492517","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/form-is-emptiness-is-form-robert-wydler-haduch-9783952440926","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
