We encounter fear, calamities and adversities due to the root of our attachment to the relationships between ourselves and others, and our perception of entities as only that of realistic nature and failure to understand that they are in fact, all of the emptiness nature.
If we are enlightened and have attained true understanding of the state of selfless emptiness, and also severed all attachments, then all demonic obstacles will have no place of creating havoc (within us).
《The Heart of Prajna Paramita Sutra》preaches the most supreme Prajna Parimita’s state of emptiness. With the force generated from this state of emptiness, and with Buddha’s great power, plus our faith towards 《The Heart of Prajna Parimita Sutra》, all our inner and outer adversities will then be purified and removed.
《The Heart of Prajna Parimita Sutra Guarding Rituals》states that in the past, when Śakro devānām indraḥ (The Lord of Thirty-three Heavens) was being attacked by the Demon King Mara, he recited 《The Heart of Prajna Parimita Sutra》and visualized on the state of emptiness, and with that he was able to tide through his calamity.
A summary:
The Heart Sutra and the Diamond Sutra illustrate the Buddhist concept of emptiness and non-existence which is the key to taming our inner demons.
hmm…I am inclined to go find out more about the Diamond Sutra now.
