The Heart Sutra ((Mahaprajnaparamita-hridaya-sutra)) | There Is No Suffering

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva,
while coursing in deep prajnaparamita,
perceived that the five skandhas are empty,
and transcended all suffering.
Sariputra,
form is not other than emptiness,
and emptiness is not other than form;
form is precisely emptiness,
and emptiness is precisely form.
So are sensation, perception,
volition, and consciousness.
Sariputra,
all dharmas are marked with emptiness;
they are neither born nor destroyed,
neither pure nor impure,
neither increasing nor decreasing.
Therefore, Sariputra,
in emptiness there is no form,
no sensation, no perception,
no volition, no consciousness;
no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind;
no sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, thought.
There is no realm of sight,
through to no realm of cognition.
there is no ignorance
or ending of ignorance,
Through to no aging and death
There is no suffering, no cause of suffering,
no cessation of suffering, and no path.
There is no wisdom and no attainment.
Therefore, Sariputra,
with nothing to attain, bodhisattvas,
relying on prajnaparamita,
have no obstructions in their minds.
Without obstructions, they have no fear.
Far beyond inverted views and dreams,
they reach the ultimate nirvana.
All buddhas appearing
in the past, present, and future
rely on prajnaparamita
and realize perfect enlightenment,
anuttara-samyak-sambodhi.
Therefore, know that prajnaparamita
is the great mantra of wisdom,
the mantra of great clarity,
the unsurpassed mantra,
the unequalled mantra,
which removes all suffering
It is true, not false.
Recite the mantra of prajnaparamita:
Gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha!
