"Discusses basic Buddhist teachings thoroughly, with a delightful ease and lightness expressive of the emptiness teachings themselves, and features a wealth of charmingly told Korean folk stories and old Buddhist tales that illustrate, with humor and magical realism, the potentially abstract and philosophical teaching of the sutra."

– Shambhala Sun

"Simple and powerful--Rev. Yoo's commentary opens the gateway to a deeper understanding of Buddhadharma and enriching both our practice and daily lives. I cannot recommend it highly enough."

– His Holiness, Venerable Chwasan, former Head Dharma Master of Won Buddhism

"An accessible commentary on a seminal concept in Mahayana Buddhism. Rev. Dosung Yoo's practical guide uses concrete examples drawn from everyday life to deepen the reader's understanding and practice."---

"Wonderful and welcome. Dosung Yoo brings a keenly-felt contemplative understanding of the core text and strong, clear voice. He is as well-grounded in classical Mahayana teachings as in the folk narratives of Korean Buddhism. A valuable contribution."

– Mu Soeng, author of The Diamond Sutra and The Heart of the Universe
