Heart Sutra - Tanahashi

This sutra discusses the concept of "realizing wisdom beyond wisdom" through the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara. It states that those who help all beings awaken live freely without attachments, with unhindered minds. They embody profound calmness and have fully awakened. Realizing wisdom beyond wisdom means understanding that all things are empty yet interdependent, free of concepts like birth and death. It urges reciting the mantra "GATE GATE PARAGATE PARASAMGATE BODHI SVAHA" to relieve suffering through this realization.
