The Sutra famously states, "Form is emptiness, emptiness is formed." It is a condensed exposé on the Buddhist Mahayana teaching of the Two Truths doctrine, which says that ultimately all phenomena are sunyata, empty of an unchanging essence. This emptiness is a 'characteristic' of all phenomena, and not a transcendent reality, but also "empty" of the essence of its own. Specifically, it is a response to Sarvastivada teachings that "phenomena" or its constituents are real.
