The Heart Sutra - The Wisdom that Brings Us to the Other Shore 心經-大智慧到彼岸
by Ven. Yan Rui 演瑞法師
The Heart Sutra, formally known as the Prajñāpāramitā Hṛdaya Sūtra, represents the core of wisdom in Mahayana Buddhism. It expounds the profound meaning of “emptiness,” offering profound yet concise teachings. The sutra inspires practitioners to transcend attachments, go beyond both positive and negative extremes, and attain ultimate liberation and freedom. Its succinct wording and profound principles make it both an introduction to Buddhist practice and a guide for practice and recitation. The Heart Sutra is an indispensable treasure of wisdom for Buddhist pratitioners.

A Microscopic View of the Ten Parables of Prajñā: Illusion and Reality 微觀般若十喻:幻境與真實
by Ven. Yan She 演捨法師
In the Mahāyāna Prajñā scriptures, analogies such as like "an illusion," "a flame," "the moon in the water," "empty space," "an echo," " the city of Gandharvas," "a dream," "a shadow," "a reflection in a mirror," and "a magical creation" are used to illustrate the true nature of all phenomena. Let us delve into these ten parables from a microscopic perspective to uncover their profound meaning, illuminate the reality of the universe, and explore the wisdom of Prajñā and insight into emptiness.
