INEXPLICABLE JOY
On the Heart Sutra
“In Inexplicable Joy, we are invited into an intimate relationship with The Heart Sutra—one of the most mysterious, deep and powerful spiritual texts in human history. Drawing on her decades-long love relationship with this scripture, Susan Piver points to ultimate truth with a wonderful freshness and vitality.”
