    Sherab Nyingpo Teaching by Geshe Lobsang Dawa

    The Heart Sūtra or Sherab Nyingpo (ཤེས་རབ་སྙིང་པོ་) is perhaps the most popular Buddhist sūtra and certainly the sūtra most widely used and chanted in Tibet. Its full title in Sanskrit is Bhagavatīprajñāpāramitāhṛdaya and in Tibetan བཅོམ་ལྡན་འདས་མ་ཤེས་རབ་ཀྱི་ཕ་རོལ་ཏུ་ཕྱིན་པའི་སྙིང་པོ་ which translates as 'The Heart of the Blessed Perfection of Wisdom.' The followers of Mahāyāna Buddhism consider it as a sacred literature which falls within the category of the words of the Buddha. Thus, it is placed within the Perfection of Wisdom (ཤེར་ཕྱྱིན་) section of the kangyur (བཀའ་འགྱུར་) canon.

    According to the sūtra itself, the Heart Sūtra was taught by the Buddha while he was on Vulture Peak, Rajagṛha with his monastic and Bodhisattva followers. The Buddha entered a meditation state called Profound Illumination and through his power made Śāriputra query Avalokiteśvara about how a person engages in the practice of Perfection of Wisdom. The main sūtra is the response Avalokiteśvara gives Śāriputra instructing how a son or daughter of a noble family should view as empty (སྟོང་པར་རྣམ་པར་བལྟ་བར་བྱ་) everything including form, sensation, feelings, volitions, consciousness, the six sense faculties, the six sense fields, the six consciousnesses, the twelve links of dependent origination and the four nobles. He puts this in the formulaic phrase: form is emptiness,

    emptiness is form, emptiness is no other than form and form is no other than emptiness.

    Thongdrol is a Tibetan word that means liberation through seeing. On a basic level, it can be anything that turns the person to look towards the spiritual path. Thongdrol strives to be a bridge connecting interested people to the precious teachings of the Buddha, on training our mind towards the ultimate realisation of the true existence of life. Of the impermanence and empty nature of the things and moments that surround us.

    The precious teachers are an inspiration and their teachings are an aspiration worth seeking.
