What is the Heart Sutra?

The full name of "Heart Sutra" is "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra". It is one of the most classic Buddhist scriptures among the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures. It is also the shortest text, but it can explain the profound and subtle meaning of Buddhism. The clearest book.

Reciting the "Heart Sutra" regularly can not only increase great wisdom and blessings, but also eliminate greed, anger, and ignorance, so that the merits will be immeasurable. People who often recite the Heart Sutra can gain wisdom. Of course, some people understand the truth beyond the limit of our understanding.

In other words, as long as a person persists in reciting the "Heart Sutra", he will have a broad-minded mind and awareness. To truly realize the principle of "tolerance is great, and to be strong without desire", that is to say, if a person wants to achieve something, he must be able to tolerate people and things, and then he can do great things.

The main content of the "Heart Sutra"

The main content of the "Heart Sutra" is "emptiness". The core content of the Buddha's teachings throughout his life is one word: emptiness. In the Heart Sutra, this meaning is expressed particularly prominently.

When we look at external objects, everything exists, but they are constantly changing. This is the realm of ordinary people. According to the Buddha, everything is subject to change. Water will turn into ice, seeds will germinate, and flowers will bear fruit. All these changes will cause the original thing to become something you don't recognize.

Because everything is changing. If you stick to something in your heart, when things change, but your heart is still in the same place, then you will not be able to keep up with its "rhythm." ". When you realize its final appearance, no matter how it changes, it is always under your "control".

Before you realize the final appearance of things, you must first make your heart empty. This is what the Buddha described in the Heart Sutra.
