The Maha Prajna Paramita Hrdaya Sutra(Heart Sutra) 


Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva 

when practicing deeply the Prajna Paramita 

perceives that all five skandhas are empty 

and is saved from all sufering and distress. 

Shariputra, 

form does not differ from emptiness, 

emptiness does not differ from form. 

That which is form is emptiness, 

that which is emptiness form. 

The same is true of feelings, perceptions, impulses, consciousness. 

Shariputra, 

all dharmas are marked with emptiness,

they do not appear or disappear, 

are not tainted or pure, 

do not increase or decrease. 

Therefore, in emptiness no form, no feelings, 

perceptions, impulses, consciousness.

No eyes, no ears, no nose, no tongue, no body, no mind, no color, no sound,


no smell, no taste, no touch, no object of mind, no realm of eyes 


and so forth until no realm of mind consciousness. 

No ignorance and also no extinction of it, 

and so forth until no old age and death 

and also no extinction of them. 

No suffering, no origination, no stopping, no path, 

no cognition, also no attainment with nothing to attain. 

The Bodhisattva depends on Prajna Paramita 

and the mind is no hindrance, 

with out any hindrance no fears exist. 

Far apart from every perverted view one dwells in Nirvana. 

in the three worlds 

all Buddhas depend on Prajna Paramita 

and attain Anuttara samyak Sambodhi. 

Therefore, know that Prajna Paramita 

is the great transcendent mantra 

is the great bright mantra, 

is the utmost mantra, 

is the supreme mantra, 

which is able to relieve all suffering 

and is true, not false. 

So proclaim the Prajna Paramita mantra, 

prclaim themantra which says: 

gate, gate, paragate, prasamgate, bodhi svaha

gate, gate, paragate, prasamgate, bodhi svaha

gate, gate, paragate, prasamgate, bodhi svaha
