Abstract

Buddha Shakyamuni believe all sentient beings are "aggregated" by the Five Skandhas
(Aggregates), which includes: (1) Rūpa Aggregate, (2) Feeling Aggregate, (3) Preception Aggregate, (4)
Volition Aggregate, and (5) Consciousness Aggregate. Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra (The Heart Sutra of the
Perfection of Wisdom) is one of the most important Buddhist sutras. Among the many teachings taught by
Buddha Shakyamuni to his disciples, the Large Prajñāpāramitā Sūtras is the highest sutra on the intellectual
level. It is a collection of all the teachings of prajna sutras in 22 years and the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra
belongs to one of the 600 volumes. The Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra is the only sutra that condenses the vast
content and thoughtful essence of the Large Prajñāpāramitā Sūtras into just a few hundred words. There is no
certainty of success or failure in business management, and it is the result of the combination of different
causes and effects. By awareness of impermanence and dependent origination dharma, we can do our best to
keep calm to face the success and failure in business management.
