master sheng dengan amat skillful mengulas lengkap serta bertaha pelbagai doktrin utama buddhisme dari tinjauan konvensional maupun ultimit...andai ada sesuatu yang mempunyai sifat abadi, tiada berubah, independen,ia akan lepas total, tak bereaksi dengan segala hal lain manapun. dan dengan demikian, yang kita dengar pun tidak ada eksistensinya. inilah "ZEN - tiada penderitaan".
This is a recommended book to read for some deeper understanding on Heart Sutra, especially the concept of emptiness, which is often mistaken as nihilsm.
However, this is a translated version. Across the texts there were terms that were interesting translated terms, which makes me wonder of the original terms being used in the original version. I also wonder how the reading experience would have been should I be reading the original version since there seem to be quite numerous bold highlight as well as footnotes by the translator/editor.
Overall, I would still recommend this for reference in understanding Heart Sutra.
