    I found this at the local Goodwill today for 50 cents. the wood is very hard and there is only the two pages w/ a silk hinge. can anyone read the title, at least?

    i wonder what it says?

      Google translate indicates it has to do with The Heart Sutra Prajnaparamita-Hridaya-Sutra: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_Sutra

      The figure is probably "Namo Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva"
