" When the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara. "

 

" Was Coursing in the Deep Prajna Paramita. "

 

" He Perceived That All Five Skandhas Are Empty. "

 

" Thus He Overcame All Ills and Suffering. "

 

" Oh, Sariputra, Form Does not Differ From the Void, And the Void Does Not Differ

From Form.

 

Form is Void and Void is Form;

The Same is True For Feelings,

Perceptions, Volitions and Consciousness. "

 

" Sariputra, the Characteristics of the Voidness of All Dharmas

Are Non-Arising, Non-Ceasing, Non-Defiled, Non-Pure, Non-Increasing,

Non-Decreasing. "

 

" Therefore, in the Void There Are No Forms, No Feelings, Perceptions, Volitions

or Consciousness. "

 

" No Eye, Ear, Nose, Tongue, Body or Mind; No Form, Sound, Smell, Taste, Touch or

Mind Object; No Realm of the Eye, Until We Come to No realm of Consciousness. "

 

" No ignorance and Also No Ending of Ignorance, Until We Come to No Old Age and

Death and No Ending of Old Age and Death. "

 

" Also, There is No Truth of Suffering, Of the Cause of Suffering, Of the

Cessation of Suffering, Nor of the Path. "

 

" There is No Wisdom, and There is No Attainment Whatsoever. "

 

" Because There is Nothing to Be Attained, The Bodhisattva Relying On Prajna

Paramita Has

No Obstruction in His Mind. "

 

" Because There is No Obstruction, He Has no Fear, "

 

" And He passes Far Beyond Confused Imagination. "

 

" And Reaches Ultimate Nirvana. "

 

" The Buddhas of the Past, Present and Future, By Relying on Prajna Paramita Have

Attained Supreme Enlightenment. "

 

" Therefore, the Prajna Paramita is the Great Magic Spell,

The Spell of Illumination, the Supreme Spell, Which Can Truly Protect One From

All Suffering Without Fail. "

 

" Therefore He Uttered the Spell of Prajnaparmita,

Saying Gate, Gate, Paragate, Parasamgate, Bodhi Svaha.
