To whet your appetite, here are three potent extracts from Osho’s commentary that you cannot find in standard sutra translations:

Liang stared. The water was still dripping from his chin. His fever had broken, not because of a mantra, but because of a mouthful of dirty water given freely. The great "Thusness" he had sought on the peak was here, in the grit on his tongue and the shepherd’s crooked teeth.

The sutra states: “No suffering, no origin of suffering, no cessation of suffering, no path.” This sounds heretical. Osho clarifies: The Buddha spoke of suffering for the seeker; the Heart Sutra speaks of the absolute reality of the awakened one. In the ultimate state, suffering is as illusory as a dream.
