般若波罗蜜多心经(中英文)

般若波罗蜜多心经

唐三藏法师玄奘奉诏译

观自在菩萨，行深般若波罗蜜多，时照见五蕴皆空，度一切苦厄。舍利子！色不异空，空不异色，色即是空，空即是色。受想行识，亦复如是。舍利子！是诸法空相。不生不灭，不垢不净，不增不减。是故空中无色，无受想行识。无眼耳鼻舌身意。无色声香味触法。无眼界，乃至无意识界。无无明，亦无无明尽。乃至无老死，亦无老死尽。无苦集灭道。无智亦无得。以无所得故。菩提萨埵，依般若波罗蜜多故，心无挂碍。无挂碍故，无有恐怖，远离颠倒梦想，究竟涅槃。三世诸佛，依般若波罗蜜多故，得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。故知般若波罗蜜多，是大神咒，是大明咒，是无上咒，是无等等咒。能除一切苦，真实不虚。故说般若波罗蜜多咒。即说咒曰：揭谛揭谛，波罗揭谛，波罗僧揭谛，菩提萨婆诃。

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).
