The Heart Sūtra as a Dhāraṇī - Silk

Post by Zhen Li »

I haven't had a chance to go through this yet, but perhaps to add a bit to the ongoing discussions on Prajñāparamitā here, there's a new article on the Heart Sūtra by Jonathan Silk.

Nothing really new here, just another forensic analysis and a negation that Hōryūji manuscript is the oldest extant version of the Heart Sūtra.

I agree. I think some scholars just like to get out a certain number of articles a year, but really this could have been covered in a list serv post.
