The Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra, sometimes called Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra, is the heart sutra of the Diamond Sutra, referred to as the Heart Sutra for short. There is only one volume, with 260 words, which belongs to one section of more than 600 volumes of Dapin Prajna Sutra.
There are many stories in Buddhist classics about copying and reciting the Heart Sutra to get good results and increase happiness. Emperors, generals, eminent monks, great virtues, calligraphers and writers all advocated writing classics, among which the Heart Classic was the most widely written. Today, readers will be presented with eight versions of ancient Japanese classics to get a glimpse of the laws of the Tang Dynasty.
It was thought in ancient times that reading this sutra can help us understand the basic spirit of Prajna Sutra. This classic has been published in seven Chinese versions. The famous ones are the Maha Prajna Paramita's Ming Zun Jing translated by Kumarajiva at the end of Qin Dynasty and the Prajna Paramita's Heart Sutra translated by Xuanzang in Tang Dynasty.
Main points:
The purpose of this sutra comes from various items about the Buddhist relics in most of the Prajna Sutra, namely, the preface, offering bowls, learning, past lives and sighing in Qin's translation of Dapin Prajna Sutra (Volume 1-2), and the origin of Tang's translation of Dapin Prajna Sutra Part II. 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 meaning of Prajna:
Prajna is not only a Buddhist thought, but also a philosophical thought, and it is also an attitude towards life and a speculative model, which is particularly worthy of our understanding and attention. It is precisely because of the existence of Prajna that Buddhism has almost become the only religion in human history that finally does not recognize "God".
