The perfection of wisdom, the Prajnaparamita, is encapsulated in the Heart Sutra of Wisdom. This Sutra is the heart of the Buddhist teachings of the Mahayana school and is practiced in China, Japan, Southeast Asia and Tibet. The enlightened Avalokitesvara, in a large assembly of monks and sages answered a question from the sage Shariputra about the correct way to perceive the five aggregates. He explained the Five Paths to Enlightenment, and the profound transcendental knowledge of emptiness, which is the best way to eliminate internal and external interferences.
