Above is an AI generated graphic of the foundational ideas of The Heart Sutra, Thich Nhat Hanh translation. New Heart Sutra translation by Thich Nhat Hanh | Plum Village
This translation differs in word choice from the Red Pine version we use in our Sangha. It also flows more smoothly because of these word choices. We will be reading this version during our Dharma Talk after chanting it earlier in our service on June 10th. As we do with each Sutra we listen to it, chant it, and read it. In our read through we will talk about:
- Hard and soft definitions of form and emptiness
- Why the sutra seems to negate co-origination
- What it means to be in emptiness
- Explore the image above as a nonfrom
Please be sure to review the URL above, and have a copy of our regular translation with you to compare with the TNH version.
