Book Synopsis Elaborations on Emptiness - Uses of the Heart Sutra by : Donald S. Lopez (Jr.)
Book excerpt: Lopez reveals unexpected points of instability and contradiction in the Heart Sutra, which, in the end, turns out to be the most malleable of texts, where the logic of commentary serves as a tool of both tradition and transgression.
