| Description | The presentation introduces various translations of the Heart Sutra, a most fundamental Buddhist text within the Japanese religious context, into the English language, and its current usage among the various Zen monastic traditions primarily in the United States. The aim of the presentation is to address a diversity of the presently used translations of this religious text, for which there is only one widely known and used version in the Japanese setting. |
