Heart Sūtra - 2024 PLAYTIME

Question

The line “gone, gone, everyone gone to the other shore, awakening,” appears immediately before the invocation of svāhā to end this text. For 10 points each:

[10m] Name this Buddhist text in the Prajñāpāramitā, or “Perfection of Wisdom,” genre. Avalokiteśvara speaks with Śariputra on Vulture Peak in this text.

ANSWER: Heart Sūtra [or The Heart of the Perfection of Wisdom Sūtra; or Prajñāpāramitā Hrdaya Sūtra; prompt on partial answer]

[10h] This concept, central to the Perfection of Wisdom Sūtras, is equated with “form” in the Heart Sūtra. The Two Truths doctrine, which is explained to Śariputra by Avalokiteśvara, states that everything is this concept.

ANSWER: śūnyatā [or shunyata; accept emptiness or being empty; accept nothingness; accept voidness]

[10e] According to Avalokiteśvara in the Heart Sūtra, these principles do not apply in śūnyatā. These four central tenets of Buddhism include dukkha, or suffering, and marga, classically equated with the Eightfold Path.

ANSWER: Four Noble Truths
