PREFACE

It seems necessary to record here a few thoughts about what I have tried to accomplish by writing this commentary on a famous Buddhist
sutra about which volumes have already been written, each with its own particular perspective or bias. Any kinds of comments may be
made on any subject colored with personal bias according to whatever opinion or perspective a particular writer might have. In this work I
have tried to eclipse all bias and point out the few easily overlooked ideas contained in the Heart Sutra itself. Of course, any idea or
statement from any source can be interpreted with bias consonant with the degree of clarity or with the degree of delusion of whomever is
writing or of whomever is reading.

In stark contrast to all the opinionated interpretations that pervade all aspects of our human condition, whether in politics, in social
collaborations, in philosophy, in religion, or in anything else, this Heart Sutra is perfectly unyielding in its instructions pertaining to the
necessity of getting beyond the obscuring effects of any sort of discriminative bias and showing us the way to learn how to clearly see the
real truth. It is only the truth that can deliver us from . . . .

 Here is a book you will appreciate even if you have read many Buddhist
books.  This book expounds the Dharma in a very lucid way and illuminates
the Heart Sutra from Buddhism's apex of psychology and philosophy.   This    
book is a sharp weapon useful for cutting the root of ignorance.  It is one    
thing to talk about or read about the meaning of life and quite another to

move through the levels of wisdom to actually live that meaning.  Here you'll
find a detailed map of the journey to meaning.
