Heart Sutra
Maha Prajna Paramita Hrdaya Sutra
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva when practicing deeply the
Prajna Paramita perceivesthat all five skandhas are empty and is saved from
all suffering and distress.
Shariputra,form does not differ from emptiness,emptiness does not differ
fromform.
That which is form is emptiness,that which is emptiness form.
The sameis true of feelings,perceptions, impulses, consciousness.
Shariputra,all dharmasare marked withemptiness;they do not appear or disappear,are
not taintedor pure,do notincrease or decrease.
Therefore, in emptiness no form, no feelings,perceptions,impulses, consciousness.
No eyes, no ears, no nose, no tongue, no body, nomind;no color, no sound,
no smell, no taste, no touch,no object of mind;norealm of eyesand so forth
until no realm of mind consciousness.
No ignoranceand also no extinction of it,and so forth until no old age and
deathand alsono extinction of them.
No suffering, no origination,no stopping, no path,nocognition,also no attainment
with nothing to attain.
The Bodhisattva dependson Prajna Paramita and the mind is no hindrance;without
any hindrance no fearsexist.
Far apart from every perverted view one dwells in Nirvana.
In the threeworlds all Buddhas depend on Prajna Paramita and attain Anuttara
Samyak Sambodhi.
Therefore know that Prajna Paramita is the great transcendent mantra,is the
great bright mantra, is the utmost mantra, is the supreme mantra which is
able to relieve all suffering and is true, not false.
So proclaim the PrajnaParamita mantra,proclaim the mantra which says:
gate gate paragate parasamgatebodhi svaha
gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha
gate gate paragateparasamgate bodhi svaha.
