THE HEART SUTRA

Avalokitesvara, Bodhisattva of compassion, observing deeply the refinement of wisdom, Prajnaparamita, clearly saw the emptiness of personality, thus enduring adversity and pain.

O, Saripurtra, form is no other than emptiness, emptiness no other than form; form is exactly emptiness, emptiness exactly form, the same is true of feeling, perception, mental formations and consciousness.

O, Saripurtra, all dharmas are forms of emptiness, not born, not destroyed; not tainted, not pure, not increasing, not decreasing, and so in emptiness there is no form, no feeling, no perception, no mental formations, no consciousness; no eyes, no ears, no nose, no tongue, no body, no mind; no color, no sound, so smell, no taste, no touch, no thought, no realm of sight and so forth until no realm of consciousness, no ignorance, no end to ignorance and so forth until no old age and death, and no end to old age and death, no suffering, no desire, no cessation, no path, no wisdom, no attainment.

And so the Bodhisattva relies on the Prajnaparamita with no hindrance in the mind, no hindrance, therefore no fear, far beyond deluded thoughts, this is Nirvana.

All past, present, and future Buddhas rely on the refinement of wisdom and thus attain the cultivated enlightenment.

Therefore, know that the Prajnaparamita is the interdependent mantra, the interconnected mantra, the mantra of world making the mantra which relieves all suffering.

So proclaim the Prajnaparamita mantra, proclaim the mantra and say: Gate! Gate! Paragate! Parasamgate! Bodhi Sva Ha!

Great refinement of wisdom, Prajnaparamita, Heart Sutra!

THE THREE REFUGES:

I go for refuge to the Buddha, the teacher

I go for refuge to the Dharma, the teaching

I go for refuge to the Sangha, the taught

I take refuge in the Buddha

I take refuge in the Dharma

I take refuge in the Sangha

I have taken refuge in the Buddha

I have taken refuge in the Dharma

I have taken refuge in the Sangha

THE THREE PURE PRECEPTS:

Cease to do harm.

Do only good.

Do good for others.

BODHISATTVA VOW:

However innumerable all beings are,

I vow to lead them all.

However inexhaustible my delusions are,

I vow to extinguish them all.

However immeasurable the Dharma teachings are,

I vow to master them all.

However endless the Buddha’s Way is,

I vow to follow it completely.

SVA HA!
