Avalokiteshvara
Bodhisattva, when deeply practicing prajna paramita, clearly
saw [X] that all five aggregates are empty and thus relieved
all suffering. Shariputra, form does not differ from emptiness,
emptiness does not differ from form. Form itself is emptiness,
emptiness itself form. Sensations, perceptions, formations, and
consciousness are also like this. Shariputra, all dharmas are
marked by emptiness; they neither arise nor cease, are neither
defiled nor pure, neither increase nor decrease. Therefore, given
emptiness, there is no form, no sensation, no perception, no
formation, no consciousness; no eyes, no ears, no nose, no tongue,
no body, no mind; no sight, no sound, no smell, no taste, no
touch, no object of mind; no realm of sight... no realm of mind
consciousness. There is neither ignorance nor extinction of ignorance...
neither old age and death, nor extinction of old age and death;
no suffering, no cause, no cessation, no path; no knowledge and
no attainment. With nothing to attain, a bodhisattva relies on
prajna paramita, [X] and thus the mind is without hindrance.
Without hindrance, there is no fear. Far beyond all inverted
views, one realizes nirvana. All buddhas of past, present, and
future rely on prajna paramita [X] and thereby attain
unsurpassed, complete, perfect enlightenment. Therefore, know
the prajna paramita as the great miraculous mantra, the great
bright mantra, the supreme mantra, the incomparable mantra, which
removes all suffering and is true, not false. Therefore we proclaim
the prajna paramita mantra, the mantra that says: "Gate
Gate [Y] Paragate Parasamgate [Y] Bodhi Svaha."
