The Heart Attack Sutra: A New Commentary on the Heart Sutra by Karl Brunnhölzl

Karl Brunnhölzl explores the challenging message of the Heart Sutra in this Buddhist commentary. He considers how its teaching of groundlessness questions familiar assumptions and connects the contemplation of emptiness with wisdom and compassion.

For readers who want to engage with the sutra beyond a quick summary, with accessible teaching and a lively approach. Despite its striking title, The Heart Attack Sutra is a work of Buddhist philosophy and practice, not a guide to cardiac health.
