Sutra of Transcendental Wisdom
(Maha-prajna-paramita-hridaya)
THUS HAVE I HEARD. At one time the Blessed One together with a number of the highest Bodhisattvas and a great company of bhikshus was staying at Rajagriha on Mount Gridhrakta.
The Blessed One was sitting apart absorbed in Samadhi, and the noble Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara was meditating on the profound Prajna-paramita, thinking thus: Personality is made up of five grasping aggregates–form, sensation, perception, discrimination and consciousness–all of which the Blessed One has taught us are by nature dream-like and empty.
