❤️ The Heart of Perfect Wisdom

觀自在菩薩，行深般若波羅蜜多時

Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, when practicing deeply the Prajna Paramita

When Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva was practicing the profound Prajna Paramita

照見五蘊皆空，度一切苦厄

Vyavalokayati sma panca skandhas tams ca svabhava-shunyan pashyati sma

Perceived that all five aggregates are empty, and crossed beyond all suffering

舍利子，色不異空，空不異色

Iha Shariputra rupam shunyata shunyataiva rupam

Shariputra, form is emptiness, emptiness is form

色即是空，空即是色

Rupan na prithak shunyata shunyataya na prithag rupam

Form is exactly emptiness, emptiness is exactly form

受想行識，亦復如是

Evam eva vedana-samjna-samskara-vijnanam

Sensation, conception, volition, consciousness are also like this

舍利子，是諸法空相

Iha Shariputra sarva-dharmah shunyata-lakshanah

Shariputra, all phenomena are marked with emptiness

不生不滅，不垢不淨，不增不減

Anutpanna aniruddha amala avimala anuna aparipurnah

Not born, not destroyed, not impure, not pure, not increasing, not decreasing

是故空中無色，無受想行識

Tasmac Chariputra shunyatayam na rupam na vedana na samjna na samskarah na vijnanam

Therefore in emptiness: no form, no sensation, no conception, no volition, no consciousness

無眼耳鼻舌身意，無色聲香味觸法

Na caksuh-shrotra-ghrana-jihva-kaya-manamsi na rupa-shabda-gandha-rasa-sprastavya-dharmah

No eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind; no color, sound, smell, taste, touch, object of mind

無無明，亦無無明盡

Na-avidya na-avidya-ksayo

No ignorance and no extinction of ignorance
