I’ve always known this won’t take overnight to complete. There are people who have been reading this sutra hundreds and hundreds of times and still the idea of sunyata eludes them. It’s not that I can’t grasp the concept of impermanence. Nothing lasts forever. I didn’t have to read the Heart Sutra to know that. But just when I think I’ve got the real idea of emptiness and the ultimate reality of all things in the universe, the meaning twists itself away from me and I’m back to feeling like I don’t really get it. I’m gonna let this slide to the bottom of the list for a while, and slowly digest the meaning over time. I may yet be able to mark this one off as done one day. Certainly I’ve memorized it, but to fully understand will take a long time.
