"Form is not different from emptiness, and emptiness is not different from color. Color is emptiness, and emptiness is color." This familiar sentence comes from the "Illustrated Heart Sutra" that has been circulated for thousands of years. As a Buddhist religious reading, this article allows readers to more clearly understand the purpose of the "Illustrated Heart Sutra" from the perspective of Master Xuanzang. It uses clear charts and vivid and interesting hand-drawn illustrations to interpret the classics, with both pictures and texts, so that readers who have not been exposed to Buddhist scriptures can also understand the wisdom contained in it. After reading this book, it seems that I can see the whole picture of Master Xuanzang's creation of "Illustrated Heart Sutra" through the article.

The "Illustrated Heart Sutra" only has 260 words, but it plays an important role in the Buddhist world. It is considered a guide to becoming a Buddha and a magic weapon for benefiting people. "Heart Sutra" absorbs the essence of 600 volumes of "Mahaprajna Sutra" and has profound meaning. It is not easy to fully understand its meaning.

The Heart Sutra has only 260 words, but every word is precious, leaving endless aftertaste and appreciation for future generations. The whole book conducts a structural analysis of the content of the Heart Sutra, and also explains the precautions when reciting it and the key audiences. Everyone will have different experiences when reciting it because of their own experiences. As the first Prajna scripture, it conveys the profound meaning of life of freedom and inaction and the indifferent view of fame and fortune where everything is empty. Since form is not different from emptiness, and emptiness is not different from color, then when we practice, we should be more indifferent to the results and treat impermanence with a normal mind.

With pictures and texts, it provides an in-depth interpretation of the Heart Sutra. The full name of the Heart Sutra is the Mahaprajnaparamita Heart Sutra. Every word in the text is worth remembering and contains profound Buddhist wisdom. What I recite is Master Xuanzang's translation. You can recite the Heart Sutra secretly when you are indecisive or depressed. This article combines more pictures to analyze the meaning of the "Heart Sutra" sentence by sentence, helping us better understand the abstract concepts in the "Heart Sutra". Truly understand the Heart Sutra and realize the wisdom from thousands of years ago. [Three core questions] 1. What is the core idea of the Heart Sutra? : All dharmas are empty, everything is empty. (For example, in life, when we are too attached to external things, we will feel anxious and stressed. If we can realize that the essence of these substances is impermanence and emptiness, we can let go of attachment and gain inner peace) 2. How to understand "empty"? : "Empty" does not mean nothingness, but means that things have no fixed nature. Everything is the product of the combination of causes and conditions. (I don't think of a particularly good description for this. Take the example of a chair. It is made of wood and carpentry labor, and is the result of a variety of external factors. It is similar to people. The atoms that make up our bodies may have come from a star billions of years ago. In the future, we will also be scattered in the universe.) 3. How to apply the wisdom of the Heart Sutra in daily life? : Let go of attachments, face gains and losses in life with a peaceful mind, and reduce worries and pain; In dealing with others, treat others with compassion and tolerance, and not be obsessed with personal opinions and interests; Appropriately introduce meditation, reflection and other methods to cultivate inner concentration and awareness of emotions;

Very beautiful, highly recommended

The explanation is very clear. I fell in love with this book.

Super exciting, I hope there are more books like this.

Detailed and simple explanation

This book is very helpful for a beginner like me. Judging from the text in the electronic version, it may be that the uploader did not read it carefully, and there are repeated contents in more than three or five places. After reading this electronic version of the book, I ordered the paper version. My current reading habit is to read electronic books first, then when I find the feeling of reading them, place an order immediately. There are many people writing books nowadays, but some books just look like books.

The great treasure ship reaches the other shore, escapes from sinking, escapes from the sea of ​​confusion, supreme treasure, boundless brightness, endless treasure (zang)

The heart depends on the people and the reason

Very detailed and beginner-friendly

A book that changes your destiny
