Description: Why does a sutra of only 260 characters hold the essence of all Buddhist teachings? In this opening lecture, Khenpo Sodargye introduces the Heart Sutra — revered across every school of Tibetan and Han Buddhism. He traces its history through Xuanzang's legendary pilgrimage: a leper who gave him the sacred text, and a river-god ritual he escaped by chanting it three times.
