A powerful poem filled with raw emotion. I have been told that some veterans have found peace after reading the Zen Heart Sutra. I have recently created a free and public domain calligraphy/decorative version of the sutra myself, if you are interested, here is the link to it: https://archive.org/details/heartsutra2018
