The "Hannyashinkyo" Sutra Fountain Pen is
engraved on the body and cap of this sterling silver
pen. These characters condense the sutra that was translated
from the Tibetan Sanskrit text around the first century
AD into 266 characters. This sutra, or teaching, is
one of the main doctrines of Buddhism. Sutras are chanted
by Buddhist monks and lay people in unison as a guide
to understanding life and life forces. This one is known
in the West as the Heart Sutra. (For a translation of
the Heart Sutra, please go to http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/heartstr.htm).
Each pen is numbered. We currently have number 79.
