| Abstract | This paper has attempted to present an English translation of Wonch`uk`s Banya paramilda simgyeong chan (般若波羅蜜多心經贊) or Commentary on the Heart Sutra which was written in classical Chinese in the 7th century. As an example of the intellectual analysis of a sutra, Wonch`uk`s Commentary is an important text that has exerted a significant influence on East Asian Buddhist thought. A prominent Korean Yogacara scholar, Wonch`uk authored twenty-three works during his lifetime; unfortunately, all but three have been lost. The Commentary on the Heart Sutra is the shortest among his extant writings, yet it clearly reflects his incomparable erudition. It is a unique commentarial work to examine the Buddhist meaning of emptiness (sunyata) as it reflects the Madhyamika doctrine of Emptiness from the Yogacara perspective. The English translation of Wonch`uk`s original Chinese text may offer the contemporary readers in the West an opportunity to reveal the distinctive features of Wonch`uk`s Commentary as well as an East Asian scriptural exegesis. |
