(A dedication to the root Guru)
The Heart of the Heart Sutra
When the Boddhisattva Avalokitesvara was coursing in
the deep Prajnaparamita,
He saw that all the five skandhas are empty and thus He overcame
all sufferings and ills.
O Sariputra! Form is not different from emptiness and emptiness
is not different from form.
Form is emptiness and emptiness is form.
Likewise the feelings, conceptions, impulses and consciousnesses.
O Sariputra! The characteristics of the emptiness of all dharmas
are that it is not arising, not ceasing, not defiled, not pure,
not increasing, not decreasing.
Therefore in the emptiness there are no forms, no feelings, conceptions,
impulses or consciousnesses; no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body or
mind; no form, sound, smell, taste, touch or mind-objects; no eye-elements
until we come to no elements of consciousness, no ignorance, no
ending of ignorance, no old age or death, and no ending of old age
and death; no truth of suffering, no truth of the causes 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 Boddhisattva relying
on Prajnaparamita has no obstructions in his mind.
Because there is no obstruction he has no fear and passes far beyond
all confusions and imaginations and reaches the Ultimate Nirvana.
The Buddhas in the past, present and future also by relying on the
Prajnaparamita have attained the Supreme Enlightenment.
Therefore, the Prajnaparamita is the great magic spell, is the unequalled
spell which can truly protect one from all suffering without fail.
Therefore he uttered the Spell of Prajnaparamita:
TAYATA OM GATE GATE PARAGATE PARASAMGATE
BODHI SOHA
