There are around forty texts associated with this category, though the most widespread is the exceedingly brief ''Prajñāpāramitāhṛdayasūtra'', popularly known as the ''Heart Sūtra''. This class of literature is typically associated with the second turning of the dharma wheel and especially with the teachings on emptiness (''śūnyatā''). As such, these texts were the primary scriptural source for the philosophy of the Madhyamaka school.
