Maha Prajna Paramita Hridaya Sutra

Avalokitesvara, the Bodhisattva of compassion, doing deep Prajna Paramita, clearly saw that the five skandhas are empty, thus transcending misfortune and suffering.

O Sariputra, form is no other than emptiness, emptiness is no other than form. Form is exactly emptiness, emptiness is exactly form. Feeling, thought, volition, and consciousness are likewise like this. O Sariputra, remember that Dharma is fundamentally emptiness. No birth, no death. Nothing is defiled, nothing is pure. Nothing can increase, nothing can decrease. Hence: in emptiness, no form, no feeling, no thought, no volition, no consciousness; no eyes, no ears, no nose, no tongue, no body, no mind; no seeing, no hearing, no smelling, no tasting, no touching, no thinking; no world of sight, no world of consciousness; no ignorance and no end of ignorance; no old age and death and no end to old age and death. No suffering, no craving, no extinction, no path; no wisdom, no attainment.

Indeed, there is nothing to be attained; the Bodhisattva relies on Prajna Paramita with no obstacle in the mind. No obstacle, therefore no fear. Far beyond upside down views, at last Nirvana. Past, present, and future, all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, rely on Prajna Paramita and therefore reach the most supreme enlightenment.

Therefore know: Prajna Paramita is the greatest Dharani, the brightest Dharani, the highest Dharani, the incomparable Dharani. It completely clears all suffering. This is the truth, not a lie. So set forth the Prajna Paramita Dharani. Set forth this Dharani and say:

GATE GATE PARA GATE PARA SAM GATE, BODHI SVAHA. Heart Sutra. - Gone, gone, gone to the other shore; landed at the other shore. O Bodhi Svaha!
