Features: This scripture, in its essence, is actually a "mantra scripture" rather than a "heart sutra." There was a Bodhisattva like this one, one day, when he was practicing and achieving enlightenment, he entered an extremely profound state, namely "entering the deep Prajna Paramita," and perceived the emptiness of the five aggregates! This is an extremely profound state of realization, characterized by "perceiving the emptiness of the five aggregates." It was because he perceived the emptiness of the five aggregates that the Buddha praised him; this prompted Sariputra to ask questions, and Ananda then recorded this invaluable scripture of the Buddha's words and the way of the Dao. True enlightenment in Zen is not just about health preservation or accumulating merits, but rather, after entering a spiritual state, following nature and returning to one's original nature to achieve enlightenment, thereby gaining the great wisdom of unity with the heavens or communion with the universe.
