Prajna Paramita
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva while moving through the deep course of Prajna Paramita
shed light upon the five skandhas and found them equally empty after this
penetration he overcame ill-being
*
Shariputra form is emptiness emptiness form form not other than emptiness
emptiness not other than form the same is true with sensations perceptions mental
formations consciousness
*
Shariputra all dharmas are marked with emptiness neither produced nor destroyed
neither defiled nor immaculate neither increasing nor decreasing therefore in
emptiness there is neither form sensations perceptions mental formations
consciousness no eyes no ears no nose no tongue no body no mind no form no sound
no smell no taste no touch no object of mind no realms of elements from eyes to mind
consciousness no interdependent origins and no extinction of them from ignorance to
death and decay no ill being no cause of ill being no end of ill being no path no
understanding no attainment
*
Because of no attainment the Bodhisattvas grounded in Prajna Paramita find no
obstacles for their minds having no obstacles they overcome fear liberating themselves
forever from illusion realizing perfect nirvana
*
All Buddhas in the past present and future because of Prajna Paramita arrive at
Annutarasamyacsambodhi therefore one should know that Prajna Paramita is the
highest mantra the unequaled mantra the destroyer of ill being the incorruptible
truth the mantra of Prajna Paramita should therefore be proclaimed proclaim the
mantra which says
Gate Gate Paragate Parasamgate Bodhisvaha
Gate Gate Paragate Parasamgate Bodhisvaha
Gate Gate Paragate Parasamgate Bodhisvaha
