Thunderous Silence: A Formula For Ending Suffering

Reverend Dosung Yoo offers a step-by-step explanation of the Heart Sutra, the short, profound text often regarded as the essence of the prajnaparamita teachings. He works through the sutra phrase by phrase in an easy, conversational voice.

Explanations draw on Korean folk stories from his youth, quantum physics and Western sources such as Charles Dickens, the Psalms and Socrates. He then examines emptiness, enlightenment and the Four Noble Truths in light of the sutra, for newcomers and experienced practitioners alike.
