One of the Prajñā-pāramitā or Perfection of Wisdom texts, this sutra records the Buddha’s dialogue with the disciple Subhūti on the emptiness of all forms and the giving that clings to nothing. Samuel Beal translated it from Kumārajīva’s Chinese version of about AD 405, with an introduction on the text and its liturgical setting.
