AbstractThe Heart Sutra, in just 260 words, it is full of the ultimate wisdom of life.
People of different eras, facing different changes, chaos, and sufferings, can find relief and peace from the Heart Sutra. This is the reason why the Heart Sutra transcends religions and regions and is widely recited by people from all walks of life.
"The Sutra of My Heart—Sending you a Song for Crossing the River" is Master Hung Chi-Sung's interpretation from a never-seen-before perspective, and gives a fresh presentation of the Heart Sutra in the form of prose. Furthermore, he also provides a beautiful English translation of the classic Heart Sutra.
This book combines text and painting. The paintings painted by the author in meditation are like the scenery along the river of life. All phenomena are constantly changing. They can be aggregated or decomposed. There is no "beginning" and no "ending". If we awaken to the emptiness of all existences, and are not controlled by the inertia of life, it is like waking up from a dream, filled with the joy of freedom.
Let life reach the true, free, other shore! The shore of enlightenment is in this life, and is not the ending; it is the beginning.

“The Wisdom-seeking process is like trying to cap a bottle in the dark.
We try to find the bottle but we cannot see any thing.
Finally, we cap the bottle and turn it tight.

When you cap the bottle, the bottle will grab the cap.
When you are controlled by the outside realm; you can not freely use your wisdom.

If you want to escape being tied to each other, you have to turn open the cap one more time, and, this time, turning the cap is giving up your self and the arrogance of knowledge.”
(The Sutra of My Heart—Sending you a Song for Crossing the River, Hung Chi-Sumg)

《心經》,短短二百六十個字,飽含著究竟的生命智慧。
不同時代的人,面對不同的變化、混亂、苦難,都能從《心經》裡找到解脫與平靜。這正是《心經》超越宗教與地域,廣為各方人所誦讀的原因。
《The Sutra of My Heart—Sending you a Song for Crossing the River》,是洪啟嵩禪師以前所未見的角度來詮釋、解讀,並且以散文的形式重新呈現《心經》,同時作者也為經典《心經》作出精彩的英文翻譯。
本書結合文字與繪畫,一幅幅作者於禪定中所繪的畫作,宛如生命之河沿途的風景,所有現象不斷地在變化,可以聚合亦可以分解,沒有「生起」,也沒有「消滅」。當我們體會宇宙萬象的空性,不被生命慣性所制約,就如同從夢中醒來,充滿自在的喜悅。
讓生命抵達最真實、最自在、最圓滿的「彼岸」吧!「彼岸」就在今生,不是終點,而是起點。

「追求智慧的過程,就像在黑暗中要將瓶蓋合上瓶身,
在伸手不見五指的黑暗裡,不斷摸索著、試探著,
最後終於把瓶蓋合上瓶身,然後再把它旋緊。

可是,當你把瓶蓋拴緊在這個瓶罐上時,
瓶身同時也抓牢了瓶蓋。
當你被境界所控制,就不能自由自在地運用智慧。

想要脫離這個相互套牢的狀態,
必須再一次把蓋子旋出來——
這旋出來的蓋子,就是你要放棄的自我,知識的傲慢。」
