The New Heart of Wisdom contains a translation of the Sutra as well as a word by word commentary. An understanding of emptiness (Śūnyatā), the ultimate nature of reality, lies at the heart of Buddhist view and practice. The Heart Sutra contains the essence of Buddha's teachings on emptiness and the methods to develop the wisdom that understands this ultimate reality. The New Heart of Wisdom reveals its explicit and implicit meanings and relates them to the five Mahayana paths that lead to full enlightenment. The author also explains how an initial understanding of emptiness can be used in conjunction with the Sutra to overcome both internal and external obstacles to happiness. Emptiness is not easy to understand but as the author explains:
David Vennells supports this observation:
The teachings on emptiness such as those explained in Heart of Wisdom also provide an essential basis for the study and practice of Buddhist Tantra, such as generating ourself as the Buddhist female Deity Vajrayogini.[3] An understanding of the interdependence of all phenomena as explained in the book also provides the deepest foundation for developing compassion and empathy according to Buddhism.{{citation needed|date=April 2009}} The New Heart of Wisdom explains the philosophical implications of emptiness in practical, everyday terms for both the scholar and the lay reader. In his book Reiki Mastery, David Vennells says:
To realize emptiness, or the nature of reality, it is necessary to realize the lack of inherent existence of persons and phenomena, which is explained in detail in Heart of Wisdom. Author Victor Mansfield explains:
Buddha's teachings on emptiness has been mentioned in relationship to quantum physics, although there are important differences that are brought up by Victor Mansfield when comparing Geshe Kelsang's traditional Buddhist approach in The New Heart of Wisdom to Einstein's.
The New Heart of Wisdom is used as an integral part of the New Kadampa Tradition's Foundation Program with tens of thousands of students worldwide, described by Steven Heine in Buddhism in the Modern World: Adaptations of an Ancient Tradition:
