I think you are right about the Heart Sutra being as the elephant to the blind wise ones — something a bit different to each of us, according to our level of understanding. Isn’t that what makes them such great teachings over time??

Maybe it applies to any kind of wisdom teaching……….

In one of the Zen group I attended for many years, the dharma teacher insisted that chanting the Heart Sutra would cure cancer – among a number of other ills. My statement is an observation of the way I’ve experienced the Heart Sutra used more than what I experience it to be for myself.

Red Pine, Conze et al. see the presence of Shariputra (and Avalokiteshvara’s insistent ‘Iha, Shariputra’) as a means to showing how the Abhidharma is limited and establishing the Mahayana doctrine. Red Pine calls it a “jab in the ribs (of the Savastivadins).” :-D
