The Prajnaparamita Sutras form one of the major backbones of the Buddhist tradition. Prajnaparamita means the "perfection" (paramita) of "wisdom" (prajna). The basic essence or "heart" of these "Perfect Wisdom" Sutras is distilled and captured in the Heart Sutra-- one of the most treasured sutras of all Buddhism.

Kukai, the founder of Esoteric Buddhism in Japan, also commented extensively on the Heart Sutra in a work entitled, "The Secret Key to the Heart Sutra." This is the first work Making Monks will translate into English.
