It began two years ago as one writer invited another writer to read, and then that writer invited another writer. We’ve gone from the boroughs to the Midwest and back again, hitting a variety of fiction, and we have no idea where the next links will go. But it promises to be good!

Start your day with this musical setting of an ancient buddhist text

Translation by the Nalanda Translation Committee
Music by Philippe Treuille and Harry Einhorn

Heart Sutra is a chamber music setting of sacred Buddhist texts.
Written for voices, piano, violin, cello, and bass,  this piece seeks to convey the essence of these words through music.
Blending song, movement, instrumental music and sacred mudras (hand gestures), Heart Sutra is conceived of as an active meditation for performers and audience alike, inviting us to cultivate the heart of every spiritual practice: a mind which is awake, clear, and compassionate.
