I have to admit when I first heard it (the full Heart Sutra) I found it confusing. Now as I reread it prior to writing this post-I was deeply moved by it. The translation of a word into our English word “emptiness,” seemed so negative. But now with some years of practice I understand the positive aspect of the word and some degree of what the sutra (text) is aiming to convery-which is no less than a full understanding of reality, whcih of course cannot be conveyed in words.
