Heart sutra

the bodhisattva avalokitesvara,
while moving in the deep course of
prajnaparamita
shed light on the five shadhas
and found them equally empty.
after this penetration,
he overcame all pain
listen, sariputra,
form is emptiness, emptiness is form;
form does not differ from emptiness,
emptiness does not differ from form.
the same is true with feeling,
perception, intention and consciousness.
hear, sariputra,
all dharmas are marked with emptiness;
they are neither produced nor destroyed,
neither defiled nor immaculate,
neither increasing nor decreasing.
therefore, in emptiness there is
no form, feeling, intention or consciousness;
no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, or mind;
no forms, sounds, smells, tastes, touches,
or mental objects;
nor is there the realm of the eyes,
up to and including
the realm of mind consciousness.
there is no ignorance
or ending of ignorance;
up to and including
no decay and death
or ending of decay and death.
there is no suffering,
no origination of suffering,
no extinction of suffering,
and no path; no knowledge
and also no attainment.
because there is no attainment,
the bodhisattvas,
supported by the prajna-paramita
find no obstacles for their minds.
having no obstacles,
they overcome fear,
liberating themselves forever
from illusion and
realizing perfect nirvana.
all buddhas in the
past, present, and future,
through reliance upon prajnaparamita,
arrive at full, right, and universal enlightment.
therefore, one should know that
prajna-paramita is
a great spiritual mantra,
a great wisdom mantra,
a supreme mantra,
an unequalled mantra.
it destroys all suffering
because it is the incorruptible truth.
a mantra of prajnaparamita
should therefore be proclaimed.
this is the mantra:
gate gate paragate
parasamgate bodhi svaha
