Osho The Heart Sutra.pdf: Unlock the Secrets of the Prajnaparamita Mantra

I am glad to be permitted thus to say, in a few words of introductionto this well-meditated little volume, how pleasant and how profitablean idea it must be considered to have designed and compiled a Buddhistanthology. Selecting his cut and uncut jewels from very variousBuddhistic sources, Mr. Bowden has here supplied those who buy and usethe book with rubies and sapphires and emeralds of wisdom, compassion,and human brotherhood, any one of which, worn on the heart, would besufficient to make the wearer rich beyond estimation for a day. Theauthor disclaims any attempt to set forth a corpus of Buddhisticmorality and doctrine, nor, indeed, would anything of the kind bepossible within such narrow limits; but I rejoice to observe how welland faithfully his manifold extracts from the Sacred Books of Indiaand the East exhibit that ever-pervading tenderness of the greatAsiatic Teacher, which extended itself to all alike that live. Thiscompassionateness of Gautama, if nothing else had been illustrated bythe collection, would render it precious to possess and fruitful toemploy; but many another lofty tenet of the "Light" of Asia findsillumination in some brief verse or maxim as day after day glides by;and he who should mark the passage of the months with these simple[4]pages must become, I think, a better man at the year's end than atits beginning. I recommend this compilation without hesitation orreserve.

Let our boundless love pervade the whole universe, above, below, and across. Our love will know no obstacles. Our heart will be absolutely free from hatred and enmity. Whether standing or walking, sitting or lying, as long as we are awake, we should maintain this mindfulness of love in our own heart. This is the noblest way of living.
