If I had to choose, I prefer the Heart Sutra to the Lotus Sutra. I confess I have been unable to have the patience or interest in reading all the chapters of the Lotus Sutra in detail. I also feel a little queasy about it, as it is said to be the inspiration for the self immolation of monks.

Yet, within this there is something perceivable that to a very still mind seems quite profound.

When my mind is still and clear, writings like the Lotus Sutra are totally...... irrelevant.
