HEART
OF GREAT PERFECT WISDOM SUTRA
Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, when deeply practicing prajna paramita, clearly saw
that all five skandhas are empty and thus relieved all suffering. Shariputra,
form does not differ from emptiness, emptiness does not differ from form. Form
itself is emptiness, emptiness itself form. Sensations, perceptions, formations,
and consciousness are also like this. Shariputra, all dharmas are marked by emptiness;
they neither arise nor cease, are neither defiled nor pure, neither increase nor
decrease. Therefore, given emptiness, there is no form, no sensation, no perception,
no formation, no consciousness; no eyes, no ears, no nose, no tongue, no body,
no mind; no sights, no sound, no smell, no taste, no touch, no object of mind,
no realm of sight, down to no realm of mind consciousness. There is neither ignorance
nor extinction of ignorance, down to neither old age and death, nor extinction
of old age and death; no suffering, no cause, no cessation, no path; no knowledge
and no attainment. With nothing to attain, a Bodhisattva relies on prajna paramita,
and thus the mind is without hindrance. Without hindrance, there is no fear. Far
beyond all inverted views, one realizes nirvana. All Buddhas of past, present,
and future rely on prajna paramita and thereby attain unsurpassed, complete, perfect
enlightenment. Therefore, know the prajna paramita as the great miraculous mantra,
the great bright mantra, the supreme mantra, the incomparable mantra, which removes
all suffering and is true, not false. Therefore we proclaim the prajna paramita
mantra, the mantra that says: "Gate Gate Paragate Parasamgate Bodhi Svaha."
