The 

Heart Sūtra (Sanskrit: प्रज्ञापारमिताहृदय Prajñāpāramitāhṛdaya or Chinese: 心經 Xīnjīn
g, Tibetan: བཅོམ་ལྡན་འདས་མ་ཤེས་རབ་ཀྱི་ཕ་རོལ་ཏུ་ཕྱིན་པའི་སྙིང་པོ) is a popular sutra in Mahāyāna Buddhism. Its
Sanskrit title, Prajñāpāramitāhṛdaya, can be translated as "The Heart of the Perfection of
Wisdom".

In the sutra, Avalokiteśvara addresses Śariputra, explaining the fundamental emptiness

(śūnyatā) of all phenomena, known through and as the five aggregates of human
existence (skandhas):

form (rūpa), feeling (vedanā), volitions (saṅkhāra), perceptions (saṃjñā), and

consciousness (vijñāna). Avalokiteśvara famously states, "Form is Emptiness (śūnyatā).
Emptiness is Form", and declares the other skandhas to be equally empty—that
is, dependently originated.
