般若波羅蜜多心經

唐三藏法師玄奘譯

觀自在菩薩行深般若波羅蜜多時，照見五蘊皆空，度一切苦厄。

「舍利子！色不異空，空不異色；色即是空，空即是色。受、想、行、識，亦復如是。「舍利子！是諸法空相，不生不滅，不垢不淨，不增不減。是故，空中無色，無受、想、行、識；無眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意；無色、聲、香、味、觸、法；無眼界，乃至無意識界；無無明亦無無明盡，乃至無老死亦無老死盡；無苦、集、滅、道；無智，亦無得。

「以無所得故，菩提薩埵依般若波羅蜜多故，心無罣礙；無罣礙故，無有恐怖，遠離顛倒夢想，究竟涅槃。三世諸佛依般若波羅蜜多故，得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。

「故知般若波羅蜜多，是大神咒，是大明咒，是無上咒，是無等等咒，能除一切苦真實不虛，故說般若波羅蜜多咒。」

即說咒曰：「揭帝　揭帝　般羅揭帝　般羅僧揭帝菩提　僧莎訶」

Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra

The Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, while practicing the profound prajnaparamita, clearly saw that all five skandhas are empty, thus overcoming all suffering. Sariputra,
    form is no different from empty,
    empty is no different from form,
    form is just empty,
    empty is just form,
sensation, perception, volition and consciousness are also like this.
Sariputra, this is the emptiness of all dharmas:
    they neither arise nor cease,
    are neither defiled nor pure,
    neither increase nor decrease.
For this reason within emptiness there is no form,
no sensation, perception, volition or consciousness;
no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body or mind;
no sight, sound, scent, taste, touch or thought;
no seeing,...even no thinking;
no ignorance nor end of ignorance,...even
no aging and death, nor end or aging and death;
no suffering, origin, cessation or path;
no wisdom and no attainment.
Because nothing is attained,
bodhisattvas maintain prajnaparamita,
then their heart is without hindrance,
and since without hindrance, without fear
escaping upside down, dream-like thinking,
and completely realizing Nirvana.
All buddhas of all times maintain prajnaparamita,
thus attaining anuttara-samyak-sambodhi.
Hence know, prajnaparamita is
the all-powerful mantra,
the great enlightening mantra
the unexcelled mantra,
the unequalled mantra,
able to dispel all suffering.
This is true, not false.
Therefore, proclaim the prajnaparamita mantra.
Recite the mantra thus:
Gate gate paragate parasamegate bodhi svaha!
