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.

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.
