The five elements of our life are all empty, and emptiness is those five skandhas. The phrases “form is emptiness” and “emptiness, form” say that “since A is not different from B, and B is not different from A, then A is B, and B is A.” This is very simple. But this sutra has a more complex meaning. The longer version of the Heart Sutra reads:

“There are the five skandhas, and those he sees in their ownbeings as empty.

Hear, O Śāriputra, form is emptiness and the very emptiness is form;

emptiness is no other than form, form is no other than emptiness;

whatever is form, that is emptiness, whatever is emptiness, that is form.”78
