Marcus: Yeah, I like TNH’s commentaries on the Heart Sutra. I don’t usually go his approach to Buddhism , but in general his commentaries are quite good. The ones on the DIamond Sutra is likewise good, considering how hard that sutra is.

Jeannie: I will check this one out too, time permitting.

Here’s an interesting link on Sunyata and the Heart Sutra:

Introduction about Emptiness and the One Who Perceives It

I’ve just read TNH’s commentary on the Heart Sutra, I don’t have it to hand, but he says something along the lines of “is this cup empty?” “yes” “empty of what?” “empty of water, but full of air. Or empty of rice, empty of lemonade and so on”….

“and is it still a cup?”

I like that.
