Most of us want things to change — in the world outside or in how we relate to that world. What makes change possible? The Heart Sutra describes Buddhism's powerful answer to this question. Ken McLeod, a senior Western teacher of Buddhism has decoded this ancient text in his new book, An Arrow to the Heart.
Using wit, irony, prose and poetry, McLeod offers a fresh interpretation of this inscrutable scripture, making its deep wisdom accessible and meaningful for people today. In this talk, he shows both newcomers and experienced practitioners how this text leads to a direct experience of honest, lucid, and profound presence in which anything is possible.
Copies of the book will be available at the store. For more information on An Arrow to the Heart, or to buy a copy online, please click here.
Spoken in a voice that is neither pious nor academic, hectoring
nor detached, An Arrow to the Heart is a fine example of the new
wave in contemporary Buddhist writing. In its quietly relentless
way, this pithy and unorthodox commentary to the Heart Sutra
leaves you with nowhere to stand but right here.
