Imee Ooi - Heart Sutra - Xin Jing - Prajna Paramitha - 般 若 心 经

Mandarin:

观自在菩萨，行深般若波罗蜜多时，照见五蕴皆空，度一切苦厄。 舍利子,色不异空,空不异色；色即是空,空即是色。受、想、行、识，亦复如是。舍利子，是诸法空相：不生、不灭；不垢、不净；不增、不减。是故空中无色。无受、想、行、识；无眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意；无色、香、声、味、触、法。无眼界，乃至无意识界；无无明，亦无无明尽；乃至无老死，亦无老死尽。无苦、集、灭、道。无智亦无得，以无所得故。菩提萨捶，依般若波罗蜜多故。心无挂碍，无挂碍故。无有恐怖，远 离颠倒梦想、究竟涅磐。三世诸佛，依般若波罗蜜多故。得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。故知般 若波罗蜜多，是大神咒，是大明咒，是无上咒，是无等等咒。能除一切苦，真实不虚。故说般若 波罗蜜多咒，即说咒曰：“揭谛！揭谛！波罗揭谛！波罗僧揭谛！菩提萨婆诃！” (♥)

English:

When Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva was  practising the profound Prajna Paramita, he illuminated
the five skandhas and saw that they are all empty, and he crossed beyond all suffering and
difficulty.

Shariputra, form does not differ from emptiness; emptiness does not differ from form.  Form itself
is emptiness; emptiness itself is form.  So, too, are feeling, cognition, formation and consious-
ness.

Shariputra, all dharmas are empty of characteristics.  They are not produced, not destroyed, not
defiled, not pure and they neither increase nor diminish.

Therefore, in emptiness there is no form, feeling, cognition, formation or consciousness, no eyes,
ears, nose, tongue, body or mind; no sights, sounds, smells, tastes, objects of touch or dharmas,
no field of the eyes, up to and including no field of mind-consciousness; and no ignorance or
ending of ignorance, up to and including no old age and death or ending of old age and death.
There in no suffering, no accumulating, no extinction, no way and no understanding and no attaining.
Because nothing is attained, the Bodhisattva, through reliance on Prajna Paramita, is unimpeded
in his mind.  Because there is no impediment, he is not afraid, and he leaves distorted dreams
and thoughts far behind.  Ultimate Nirvana!

All Buddhas of the three periods of time attain Annutarasamyaksambodhi through reliance on
Prajna Paramita.  Therefore, know that Prajna Paramita is a great spiritual mantra, a great
bright mantra, a supreme mantra, an unequalled mantra.  It can remove all sufferings; it is
genuine and not false.  That is why the mantra of Prajna Paramita was spoken.  Recite it like
this:

GA-TE  GA-TE  PARAGA-TE  PARASAMGA-TE  BODHI  SVAHA
