Heart Sutra English Translation (FD02072020-6)
When Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara practised the deep Prajnaparamita, he
saw that the five skandhas were empty; thus he overcame all ills and
suffering.
"O Sariputra! Form does not differ from the void, and the void does not
differ from the form. Form is the void, and the void is form. The same
is true for feelings, conceptions, impulses and consciousness.
O Sariputra, the characteristics of the void is not created, not
annihilated, not impure, not pure, not increasing, not decreasing.
Therefore, in the void there are no forms and no feelings, conceptions,
impulses and no consciousness: there is no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body
or mind; there is no form, sound, smell, taste, touch or idea; no eye
elements, until we come to no elements of consciousness; no ignorance
and also no ending of ignorance, until we come to no old age and death;
and no ending of old age and death.
Also, there is no truth of suffering, of the cause of suffering, of the
cessation of suffering or of the path. There is no wisdom, and there is
no attainment whatsoever. Because there is nothing to be attained, a
Bodhisattva relying on Prajnaparamita has no obstruction in his heart.
Because there is no obstruction he has no fear, and he passes far beyond
all confused imagination and reaches Ultimate Nirvana.
All Buddhas in the past, present and future have attained Supreme
Enlightenment by relying on the Prajnaparamita. Therefore we know that
the Prajnaparamita is the great magic Mantra, the great Mantra of
illumination, it is the supreme Mantra, the unequaled Mantra which can
truly wipe out all suffering without fail."
Therefore, he uttered the Prajnaparamita mantra, by saying:
"Gate, Gate, Paragate, Parasemgate Bodhi-svaha!"
