Heart of Great Perfect Wisdom Sutra

Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva,

when deeply practicing prajña paramita,

clearly saw that all five aggregates are empty

and thus relieved all suffering.

Shariputra,

form does not differ from emptiness,

emptiness does not differ from form.

Form itself is emptiness,

emptiness itself form.

Sensations, perceptions, formations,

and consciousness are also like this.

Shariputra,

all dharmas are marked by emptiness;

they neither arise nor cease,

are neither defiled nor pure,

neither increase nor decrease.

Therefore, given emptiness, there is

no form, no sensation, no perception,

no formation no consciousness;

no eyes, no ears, no nose, no tongue,

no body, no mind;

no sight, no sound, no smell, no taste,

no touch, no object of mind;

no realm of sight… no realm of mind consciousness

There is neither ignorance nor extinction of ignorance…

neither old age and death,

nor extinction of old age and death;

no suffering, no cause, no cessation, no path;

no knowledge and no attainment.

With nothing to attain,

a bodhisattva relies on prajña paramita,

and thus the mind is without hindrance.

Without hindrance, there is no fear.

Far beyond all inverted views, one realizes nirvana.

All buddhas of past, present, and future

rely on prajña paramita and thereby attain

unsurpassed, complete, perfect enlightenment.

Therefore, know the prajña paramita ⨀ as

the great miraculous mantra,

the great bright mantra,

the supreme mantra,

the incomparable mantra,

which removes all suffering

and is true, not false.

Therefore we proclaim the prajña paramita mantra,

the mantra that says:

“Gate Gate Paragate Parasamgate Bodhi Svaha.”

➞Sutra del Corazón de la Perfecta Sabidurí➚aa➘a➞āāā

⨀ Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva

a través de la práctica profunda de Prajna Paramita ⨀

Claramente vio que los cinco agregados son vacío y gracias a esta comprensión liberó todo el sufrimiento.

Sariputra la forma no es diferente del vacío,

vacío no es diferente de la forma.

La forma en sí misma es vacío,

vacío en sí mismo es forma.

Las sensaciones, percepciones, formaciones mentales

y la conciencia son igualmente vacío.

Sariputra todos los fenómenos son vacío.

No aparecen ni desaparecen,

no son puros ni impuros,

no crecen ni disminuyen.

Debido al vacío no hay forma ni sensación,

ni percepción, ni formación mental, ni conciencia;

Ni ojos, ni oídos, ni nariz, ni lengua, ni cuerpo, ni mente;

Ni vista, ni sonido, ni olor, ni gusto, ni tacto, ni objetos mentales;

ni ámbitos sensoriales ni ámbito de la conciencia.

No hay ignorancia ni extinción de la ignorancia

ni vejez y muerte ni extinción de la vejez y de la muerte

ni sufrimiento ni causa ni liberación

ni vía que conduzca a la liberación del sufrimiento

ni conocimiento ni obtención.

Sin nada que obtener, el bodhisattva confía en

Prajna Paramita ⨀ y así la mente está libre de obstáculos.

Sin obstáculos no hay miedo.

Alejado de las visiones erróneas se realiza el Nirvana.

Todos los budas del pasado, presente y futuro confían

en Prajna Paramita ⨀ por lo cual obtienen el perfecto, completo, insuperable despertar.

Por lo tanto, Prajna Paramita ⨀ es el mantra resplandeciente,

el mantra milagroso, el supremo mantra, el mantra incomparable, aquel que extingue todo sufrimiento y es verdadero, no falso.

Proclamamos el mantra Prajna Paramita que dice:

GATE GATE ⨀ PARAGATE ⨀ PARASAMGATE, BODHI SVAHA ∅

El cuerpo de Buddha impregna todos los mundos del Dharma, se manifiesta en todas partes ante todos los seres. Ya hemos recitado el Enmei Jukko Kannon Gyo y El Sutra del Corazón de la Perfecta Sabiduría, con reverencia ofrecemos los méritos generados por esta practica a: ✪
