2nd edition. Printed in Taiwan. Copyright 2003 This book is Like New. (The Heart Sutra is familiar to Buddhists everywhere. What makes this volume special are the standless verses composed by the late Venerable Master Hsuan Hua to annotate each section of the sutra. The Masters commentary which converts both the sutra text and proper the standless verses, is rich in classic definitions of terms and concepts and sprinkled with stories and illustrations that both appeal to todays people and apply to todays and tomorrow's world.)
