Hello Treeleafers!
A few weeks ago I tried to get hold of a copy of Conze's translation of "The Perfection of Wisdom in Eightthousand Lines", which proved rather difficult....finally a friend of mine in London (who happens to be a rare books specialist) told me she could get hold of a copy for 43 pounds....however I stumbled over this site that happened to have the whole thing available as a download for free:
http://www.empty-universe.com/prajnapar ... wisdom.pdf
The Perfection of Wisdom in Eightthousand Lines is the Heart Sutra's "cradle" in a sense and definitely worth a read. Once the book becomes available again, I will gladly purchase my own copy, but until then I am more than happy that someone put it out there for all sentient and English speaking beings to enjoy.
Gassho,
Hans
