般若波羅蜜多心經(中英文)

般若波羅蜜多心經

唐三藏法師玄奘奉詔譯

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，亦複如是。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，心無掛礙。無掛礙故，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：揭諦揭諦，波羅揭諦，波羅僧揭諦，菩提薩婆訶。

Heart Sutra (Prajna-Paramita Hrdaya Sutra)

 

Avalokitesvara Bodhisatttva, with his profound practice of Prajna-Paramita(perfection of wisdom), realize that the five skandas(Form, Sensation, Perception, Conception and Consciousness)are equally empty and thus overcame all suffering and calamities.  Sariputra, form does not differ from emptiness, emptiness does not differ from form.  Form is emptiness; emptiness is form.  The same is true of sensation, perception, conception and consciousness.

 

Sariputra, emptiness is the nature of all dharmas.  It neither arises nor ceases; it can neither be defiled nor purified; it neither increases nor decreases.  Therefore, in emptiness there is no form, sensation, perception, conception, or consciousness; no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, or mind; no visual form, sound, smell, taste, touch, or mental object; no realm of eye up to no realm of mind consciousness; no ignorance, nor its extinction up to no old age and death, nor their extinction; no dukkha(suffering), no cause, cessation and no path; no wisdom and no attainment.  There is nothing to attain.

 

Bodhisattvas, relying on prajna-paramita, have no worries or mental obstructions.  Having no worries and mental obstructions, they have no fear, keep away from illusion and realize ultimate nirvana.

 

All Buddhas in the past, present and future rely on prajna-paramita to attain anuttara samyak sambodhi(complete enlightenment).  Thus, one realizes that prajna-paramita is a great, marvelous mantra, an illuminating mantra, a supreme mantra and an unequalled mantra.  It can eradicate all dukkha.  This is true.   Thus proclaim the prajna-paramita Mantra by saying:  gate, Gate, Paragate, Parasamgate, Bodhi Svaha(Gone, Gone Beyond, Gone Altogether Beyond, Oh! What An Awakening! All Hail).
