Guest guest Posted June 24, 2001 Report Share Posted June 24, 2001 Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, when practicing deeply the Prajna Paramita, perceives that all five skandhas are empty and is saved from all suffering and distress. "Sariputra, form does not differ from emptiness, emptiness does not differ from form. That which is form is emptiness; that which is emptiness, form. The same is true of feelings, perceptions, impulses, consciousness." "Sariputra, all dharmas are marked with emptiness. They do not appear or disappear, are not tainted or pure, do not increase or decrease. Therefore, in emptiness, no forms, no feelings, perceptions, impulses, consciousness." No eyes, no ears, no nose, no tongue, no body, no mind; no color, no sound, no taste, no touch, no object of mind, no realm of eyes, and so forth until no realm of mind consciousness. No ignorance and also no extinction of it, and so forth until no old age and death, and also no extinction of them. No suffering, no originations, no stopping, no path, no cognition. Also, no attainment, with nothing to attain. The Bodhisattva depends of the Prajna Paramita, and his mind has no hindrance. Without any hindrance, no fears exist. Far apart from every perverted view, he dwells in Nirvana. In the three worlds all Buddhas depend on Prajna Paramita, and attain Anuttara Samyak Sambodhi. Therefore, know that Prajna Paramita is the great transcendent mantra, is the great bright mantra, is the utmost mantra, is the supreme mantra which is able to relieve all suffering an is true, not false. So proclaim the Prajna Paramita mantra, proclaim the mantra which say: Gate, Gate, paragate, parasamgate, Bodhi Swaha (3 times) [Gone, gone, gone beyond, gone far beyond, Enlightenment, Hail!] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
