Book Hero thinking about your next read

The Prajnaparamita Sutra in 8,000 Lines--the basic scripture of all schools of Mahayana Buddhism--sets forth the Bodhisattva path to enlightenment in conversations between the Buddha and three of his disciples. Lex Hixon's "contemplative expansion" of 40 passages from the original Sutra yields a text of devotional beauty that is at once dramatic and uplifting.
