PRAJNA PARAMITA HRIDAYA SUTRA - Heart of Perfect Wisdom Sutra
OM! HOMAGE TO THE BLESSED, HOLY, PERFECT WISDOM!
AVALOKITESHVARA HOLY BODHISATTVA MOVING IN DEEP PERFECT WISDOM SAW BELOW THE FIVE HEAPS, THESE HE SAW IN ESSENCE EMPTY. O SHARIPUTRA, FORM IS EMPTINESS AND EMPTINESS IS FORM, NOT SEPARATE FROM FORM IS EMPTINESS, NOT SEPARATE FROM EMPTINESS IS FORM. WHAT IS FORM THAT IS EMPTINESS, WHAT IS EMPTINESS THAT IS FORM. LIKE THIS ARE FEELINGS, THOUGHTS, IMPRESSIONS, CONSCIOUSNESSES.
HEAR O SHARIPUTRA, ALL PHENOMENA ARE MARKED WITH EMPTINESS AND NOT CREATED, NOT DESTROYED, NOT IMPURE, NOT PURE, NOT DEFICIENT, NOT COMPLETE. O SHARIPUTRA THEREFORE IN THE EMPTINESS IS NO FORM AND NO FEELING, THOUGHT, IMPRESSION, CONSCIOUSNESS. NO EYE, EAR, NOSE, TONGUE, BODY, MIND. NO FORM, SOUND, SMELL, TASTE, TOUCH, OR THOUGHT. NO ELEMENT OF EYES AND SO FORTH TO NO MIND CONSCIOUSNESS ELEMENT. NO IGNORANCE, NO END OF IGNORANCE, AND SO FORTH TO NO OLD AGE AND NO DEATH. NO END OF OLD AGE OR OF DEATH, NO SORROW CAUSE OR END. NO PATH, NO KNOWING, NO ATTAINMENT, AND NO NON ATTAINMENT.
THUS O SHARIPUTRA WITH THIS NON ATTAINMENT DOES A BODHISATTVA ON THE PERFECT WISDOM PLACE RELIANCE THUS REMOVING THOUGHT OBSTRUCTION. WITH NO THOUGHT OBSTRUCTION IS NO FEAR, BEYOND ALL ERROR HE IS CERTAIN OF NIRVANA. BUDDHAS OF THE PAST, THE PRESENT, AND THE FUTURE ALL AWAKEN TO THE HIGHEST, PERFECT, AND COMPLETE ENLIGHTENMENT RELYING ON THE PERFECT WISDOM.
THEREFORE WE SHOULD KNOW THE PERFECT WISDOM, THE GREAT MANTRA, GREAT BRIGHT MAGIC MANTRA, HIGHEST MANTRA, AND UNEQUALLED MANTRA, CURE OF EVERY SORROW. TRUE BECAUSE NOT FALSE. IN PERFECT WISDOM IS THE MANTRA SPOKEN:
