Oṁ! Namo Bhagavatyai Ārya-Prajñā pāramitāyai!
Hail! Reverence to the Fortunate and Noble Perfection of Wisdom
Heart Sutra
Ārya-Avalokiteśvaro Bodhisattvo,
The Noble Buddha-to-be Avalokiteśvara,
gambhī rāṁ prajñā pāramitā caryāṁ caramāṇo,
while dwelling deep in the practice of the perfection of wisdom,
vyavalokayati sma panca-skandhā
beheld these five constituent groups (of mind and body)
tāṁś ca svabhā vaśūnyān paśyati sma.
and saw them empty of self-nature.
Iha, Śāriputra, rūpaṁ śūnyatā, śūnyata iva rūpaṁ;
Here, Śāriputra, form is emptiness, emptiness is surely form;
rūpān na pṛthak śūnyatā, śunyatāyā na pṛthag rūpaṁ;
emptiness is not different from form, form is not different from emptiness;
yad rūpaṁ, sā śūnyatā; ya śūnyatā, tad rūpaṁ;
whatever form there is, that is emptiness; whatever emptiness there is, that is form.
Evam eva vedanā-saṁjñā-saṁskāra-vijñā nāni
the same for feelings, perceptions, volitional processes and consciousness.
Iha, Śāriputra, sarva-dharmāḥ śūnyatā-lakṣaṇā,
Here, Śāriputra, all things have the characteristic of emptiness,
anut pannā, ani ruddhā; amalā, na vimalā; nūnā, na paripūrṇāḥ.
no arising, no ceasing; no purity, no impurity; no deficiency, no completeness.
Tasmāc Śāriputra, śūnyatā yāṁ
Therefore, Śāriputra, in emptiness
na rūpaṁ, na vedanā, na saṁjñā, na saṁskārāḥ, na vijñānami;
there is no form, no feeling, no perception, no volitional processes, no consciousness;
na cakṣuḥ-śrotra-ghrāna-jihvā-kāya-manāṁsi;
there are no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body or mind;
na rūpa-śabda-gandha-rasa-spraṣ ṭavya-dharmāḥ;
no forms, sounds, smells, tastes, touches, thoughts;
na cakṣūr-dhātur yāvan na mano vijñāna-dhātuḥ;
no eye-element (and so on) up to no mind-consciousness element;
na vidya, na avidyā, na avidyā-kṣayo, na avidyā-kṣayo, yāvan na jarā-maraṇam, na jarā-maraṇa-kṣayo;
no ignorance, no destruction of ignorance (and so on) up to no old age and death, no destruction of old age and death;
na duḥkha-samudaya-nirodha-mārgā;
no suffering, arising, cessation, path;
na jñānam, na prāptir aprāptivena.
no knowledge, no attainment, no non-attainment.
Bodhisattvasya
Therefore, Śāriputra, because of the Buddha-to-be’s non-attainments
Prajñā pāramitām āśritya, viharaty acittā varaṇaḥ,
he relies on the Perfection of Wisdom, and dwells with his mind unobstructed,
cittā varaṇa-nāstitvād atrasto,
having an unobstructed mind he does not tremble,
viparyāsa-atikrānto, niṣṭhā-Nirvāṇa.
overcoming opposition, he attains the state of Nirvāṇa.
Tryadhva-vyava sthitāḥ sarva-Buddhāḥ
All the Buddhas abiding in the three times
Prajñā pāramitām āśritya
through relying on the Perfection of Wisdom
anuttarāṁ Samyak sam bodhim abhisam buddhāḥ.
fully awaken to the unsurpassed Perfect and Complete Awakening.
Tasmāj jñāta vyo Prajñā pāramitā mahā-mantro,
Therefore one should know the Perfection of Wisdom is a great mantra,
mahā-vidyā mantro, ‘nuttara-mantro, samasama-mantraḥ,
a great scientific mantra, an unsurpassed mantra, an unmatched mantra,
sarva duḥkha praśa manaḥ, satyam, amithyatvāt.
the subduer of all suffering, the truth, not falsehood.
Prajñā pāramitā yām ukto mantraḥ tad-yathā:
In the Perfection of Wisdom the mantra has been uttered in this way:
gate, gate, pāragate, pārasaṁgate, Bodhi, svāhā!
gone, gone, gone beyond, gone completely beyond, Awakening, blessings!
