The "Heart Sutra" is among the best-known and most popular of all the Buddhist scriptures. It is also one of the shortest, and as such contains the most concentrated wisdom of Mahāyāna Buddhist literature. Its full name is the Prajñāpāramitā Hṛdaya, or the "The Heart of Perfect Wisdom Sutra."
The Freeness-of-Vision Bodhisattva enlightens all and saw through the five skandhas, which were empty, while living in complete transcendental wisdom, and, so, was beyond suffering.
