The Heart of the Perfection of Wisdom Sutra (Mahaprajnaparamita Hridaya Sutra)

When Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva was practicing the profound Prajnaparamita, he illuminated the five skandhas and saw that they are all empty, and thereby transcended all suffering and distress. Shariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form; form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Sensation, perception, volition, and consciousness are also like this. Shariputra, all dharmas are marked with emptiness — they are neither born nor destroyed, neither defiled nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing. Therefore, in emptiness there is no form, no sensation, perception, volition, or consciousness; no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, or mind; no sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, or dharma; no realm of sight, up to and including no realm of consciousness; no ignorance, and also no ending of ignorance, up to and including no aging and death, and also no ending of aging and death. There is no suffering, accumulation, cessation, or path; no wisdom and also no attainment. Because there is nothing to attain, the Bodhisattva relies on Prajnaparamita, and thus the mind is without hindrance. Without hindrance, there is no fear. Far removed from inverted dreams and delusions, one reaches ultimate Nirvana. All Buddhas of the three periods rely on Prajnaparamita, and thereby attain Anuttara Samyak Sambodhi. Therefore, know that Prajnaparamita is the great divine mantra, the great luminous mantra, the supreme mantra, the unequaled mantra, able to remove all suffering — true, real, and not false. Therefore proclaim the Prajnaparamita mantra, proclaim the mantra that says: Gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha.
