The Theme of Maha Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra
The purpose of this sutra comes from the items of the Buddhist relics in most of the Prajna Sutras, that is, the preface, offering bowls, learning, past lives and sighing in the Qin translation of Dapin Prajna (Volumes 1 to 2).
The translation of the second part of the Great Prajna Sutra in the Tang Dynasty consists of four parts: origin, joy, reflection and nothingness (the Great Prajna Sutra is from volume 401 to volume 405). The contents mentioned in each article are the significance and merits of the Prajna Question and Answer by the Buddha and the Buddhist relic, so this book will be summarized into one line.
The book is 260 words in total, expounding the concepts of five connotations, three disciplines, four truths and twelve karma, and telling the Buddhist principle of self-emptiness. It is considered that if Prajna can endure all sufferings, it is the fruit of Nirvana Bodhi. This thought is regarded as the core of all Prajna theories, so it is called Heart Sutra.
