HEART SUTRA

Homage to the Perfection of Wisdom, the lovely, the Holy! Avalokita Bodhisattva was moving in the deep course of the wisdom which has gone beyond. He looked down from on high and saw but five skandhas which, in their own being, were empty.

"Here, O Sariputra, Form is Emptiness, Emptiness is Form; Form does not differ from Emptiness, Emptiness does not differ from Form; whatever is Empty, that is Form, whatever is Form that is Empty. The same is true of feelings, perceptions, impulses and consciousness.

O Sariputra, all dharmas are marked with Emptiness, they have no beginning and no end, they are neither imperfect nor perfect, neither deficient nor complete.

Therefore, O Sariputra, in emptiness there is no form, no feeling, no perception, no name, no concepts, no knowledge. No eye, no ear, no nose, no tongue, no body, no mind; no forms, no sounds, smells, tastes, touchables or objects of the mind, no sight organ, no hearing organ and so forth to no mind consciousness element; no ignorance or extinction of ignorance or extinction of ignorance, no decay and death, no extinction of decay and death.

There is no suffering, no origination, no stopping, no path, no cognition, no attainment, nor anything to attain. There is nothing to accomplish and so Bodhisattvas can rely on the Perfection of Wisdom without trouble. Being without trouble, they are not afraid, having overcome anything upsetting, they attain Nirvana. All Buddhas who appear in the three periods, fully Awake to the utmost, right and perfect enlightenment because they have relied on the Perfection of Wisdom.

Therefore, one should know the Perfection of Wisdom is the great mantra, is the unequaled mantra, the destroyer of suffering.

Because of this Truth, listen to the mantra:

Gate, Gate, Paragate, Para Samgate Bohisvaha

Gone, Gone, Gone beyond, Gone utterly beyond

Oh, what an Awakening!
