Maha Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva doing deep Prajna
Paramita, clearly saw emptiness of all the five conditions, thus completely
relieving misfortune and pain.
Oh Shariputra, form is no other than emptiness,
emptiness no other than form. Form is exactly emptiness, emptiness exactly
form. Sensation, conception, discrimination, awareness are likewise like
this.
Oh Shariputra, all dharmas are forms of emptiness;
not born, not destroyed, not stained, not pure, without loss, without gain.
So in emptiness there is no form, no sensation,
conception, discrimination, awareness; no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body,
mind; no color, sound, smell, taste, touch, phenomena; no realm of sight,
no realm of consciousness, no ignorance and no end to ignorance, no old
age and death and no end to old age and death, no suffering, no cause of
suffering, no extinguishing, no path, no wisdom and no gain, no gain and
thus the Bodhisattva lives Prajna Paramita.
With no hindrance in the mind, no hindrance therefore
no fear. Far beyond deluded thought this is Nirvana.
All past, present and future Buddhas live Prajna
Paramita and therefore attain Anuttara Samyak Sambodhi.
Therefore know Prajna Paramita is the great mantra,
the vivid mantra, the best mantra, the unsurpassable mantra. It completely
clears all pain. This is the truth not a lie.
So set forth the Prajna Paramita mantra, set forth
this mantra and say Gate! Gate! Paragate! Parasumgate! Bodhi Svaha! Prajna
Heart Sutra.
