The Heart Sutra is perhaps the most famous Buddhist scripture. Its cryptic delineation of the meaning of emptiness and its radical economy of expression have exercised a fascination over the minds of Buddhist thinkers in India, China, Japan, Korea, Tibet, and Central Asia. Over seventy manuscripts of the sfltra were unearthed at Tunhuang. The Heart Sutra has evoked commentaries from many of the pivotal figures in the history of Buddhist thought, including KamalaЈila, Atisa, Fa-tsang, K’uei-chi, KGkai, and Hakuin Zenji.
