Wisdom”

The Heart Sutra is the sequel of the Four

enlightenment.

<Four Noble Truths and Heart Sutra>
The Four Noble Truths is based on
duality in the realm of the conventional
truth and the Heart Sutra is based on
non-duality in the realm of the ultimate
truth. And it‘s vital for us to understand
deeply the ultimate truth for attaining
enlightenment. The source of all
sufferings is separation between oneself
and others. So, we need to transcend
duality and throw away all notions, for
non-separation. For that, wisdom of
emptiness is essential.

Interdependent co-arising means two
sides of the same coin (all pairs of
opposites are "not two", but "not one"). If
one side arises, the other side arises at
the same time. If one side is removed, the
other side is also removed at the same
time. Interdependent co-arising is the
skillful means to transcend duality and
attain non-duality, or emptiness.
