- Summary:
-
"Disciples of China's five main religions - Buddhism, Daoism, Protestantism, Catholicism and Islam - gather for a year at the Religious Training Centre of Beijing's National Politics University. They live together, study together, exercise together in the blazing sun, and get caught up in financial and sexual shenanigans. "Heart Sutra" explores the complex relations between humans and gods, between the secular and the divine, and between genders. The youngest Daoist monk and the youngest Buddhist nun fall in love. But as their faith is tested, will they stay committed to the path of a holy life? The choices they make are confronting, because nothing less than the fate of the gods is at stake." -- Back cover.
