EMPTINESS AND FORM

Form is emptiness;
emptiness also is form.
Emptiness is no other than form;
form is no other than emptiness.
In the same way, feeling, perception,
formation
and consciousness are emptiness.

Thus, Shariputra, all dharmas are emptiness.
There are no characteristics.
There is no birth and no cessation.
There is no impurity and no purity.
There is no decrease and no increase.

Heart Sutra
