Ārya-Avalokiteśvaro Bodhisattvo,
The Noble Buddha-to-be Avalokiteśvara,
gambhīrāṁ prajñāpāramitā caryāṁ caramāṇo,
while dwelling deep in the practice of the perfection of wisdom,
vyavalokayati sma panca-skandhāṁs
beheld these five constituent groups (of mind and body)
tāṁś ca svabhāvaśūnyān paśyati sma.
and saw them empty of self-nature.
Iha, Śāriputra, rūpaṁ śūnyatā, śūnyataiva rūpaṁ;
Here, Śāriputra, form is emptiness, emptiness is surely form;
rūpān na pṛthak śūnyatā, śunyatāyā na pṛthag rūpaṁ;
emptiness is not different from form, form is not different from emptiness;
yad rūpaṁ, sā śūnyatā; ya śūnyatā, tad rūpaṁ;
whatever form there is, that is emptiness; whatever emptiness there is, that is form.
evam eva vedanā-saṁjñā-saṁskāra-vijñānaṁ.
the same for feelings, perceptions, volitional processes and consciousness.
Iha, Śāriputra, sarva-dharmāḥ śūnyatā-lakṣaṇā,
Here, Śāriputra, all things have the characteristic of emptiness,
anutpannā, aniruddhā; amalā, avimalā; anūnā, aparipūrṇāḥ.
no arising, no ceasing; no purity, no impurity; no deficiency, no completeness.
Tasmāc Śāriputra, śūnyatāyāṁ
Therefore, Śāriputra, in emptiness
na rūpaṁ, na vedanā, na saṁjñā, na saṁskārāḥ, na vijñānam;
there is no form, no feeling, no perception, no volitional processes, no consciousness;
na cakṣuḥ-śrotra-ghrāna-jihvā-kāya-manāṁsi;
there are no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body or mind;
na rūpa-śabda-gandha-rasa-spraṣṭavya-dharmāḥ;
no forms, sounds, smells, tastes, touches, thoughts;
na cakṣūr-dhātur yāvan na manovijñāna-dhātuḥ;
no eye-element (and so on) up to no mind-consciousness element;
na avidyā, na avidyā-kṣayo yāvan na jarā-maraṇam, na jarā-maraṇa-kṣayo;
no ignorance, no destruction of ignorance (and so on) up to no old age and death, no destruction of old age and death;
na duḥkha-samudaya-nirodha-mārgā;
no suffering, arising, cessation, path;
na jñānam, na prāptir na aprāptiḥ.
no knowledge, no attainment, no non-attainment.
Tasmāc Śāriputra, aprāptitvād Bodhisattvasya
Therefore, Śāriputra, because of the Buddha-to-be’s non-attainments
Prajñāpāramitām āśritya, viharaty acittāvaraṇaḥ,
he relies on the Perfection of Wisdom, and dwells with his mind unobstructed,
cittāvaraṇa-nāstitvād atrastro,
having an unobstructed mind he does not tremble,
viparyāsa-atikrānto, niṣṭhā-Nirvāṇa-prāptaḥ.
overcoming opposition, he attains the state of Nirvāṇa.
Tryadhva-vyavasthitāḥ sarva-Buddhāḥ
All the Buddhas abiding in the three times
Prajñāpāramitām āśritya
through relying on the Perfection of Wisdom
anuttarāṁ Samyaksambodhim abhisambuddhāḥ.
fully awaken to the unsurpassed Perfect and Complete Awakening.
Tasmāj jñātavyam Prajñāpāramitā mahā-mantro,
Therefore one should know the Perfection of Wisdom is a great mantra,
mahā-vidyā mantro, ’nuttara-mantro, samasama-mantraḥ,
a great scientific mantra, an unsurpassed mantra, an unmatched mantra,
sarva duḥkha praśamanaḥ, satyam, amithyatvāt.
the subduer of all suffering, the truth, not falsehood.
Prajñāpāramitāyām ukto mantraḥ tad-yathā:
In the Perfection of Wisdom the mantra has been uttered in this way:
gate, gate, pāragate, pārasaṁgate, Bodhi, svāhā!
gone, gone, gone beyond, gone completely beyond, Awakening, blessings!
The Prajnaparamita-Hrdaya Sutra, commonly known as the Heart Sutra, is the shortest scripture on the Perfection of Wisdom and encapsulates the essential meaning of all the Prajnaparamita sutras. It is the essence, the heart, and the core of the Buddhadharma. Specifically, the content of the Heart Sutra actually covers all of the eighty-four thousand teachings. It is the scripture with the shortest text, yet its doctrinal principles are the deepest and subtlest. Indeed, it can be described as “a mustard seed containing Mount Meru”.
The Heart Sutra has always been and continues to be cherished, recited and practiced by Dharma practitioners from a variety of Buddhist schools. In Tibetan Buddhism, for example, whether it is the Gelug, Sakya, Kagyu, Nyingma, or the Jonang, all attach great importance to this Sutra. It is an indispensable scripture in any master’s treasury of teachings and practices. Most Dharma practitioners include it in their collection of daily recitations.
