Hand Painted Heart Sutra Scroll: DharmaCrafts meditation supplies

"Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva when practicing deeply the prajna paramita perceives that all five skandhas are empty and is saved from all suffering and distress..."

Thus begins the Heart Sutra, also known as the Prajna Paramita or the Perfection of Wisdom. It expounds the core teachings of Buddhism and is chanted daily in monasteries and practice centers throughout the world.

The Heart Sutra, in Chinese character, flows around a delicately hand painted Kuan Yin. Standing upon a lotus, she pours the waters of compassion upon the world. This mindful creation is hand painted by a master calligrapher on rice paper and mounted on silk brocade. An English translation of the Heart Sutra is enclosed with each scroll.
