How great, the robe of liberation!
A formless field of benefaction.
Wrapping ourselves in Buddha's teaching
We free all living beings.

"Harmony of Difference and Sameness"*[Single syllable words are usually one beat. Multi-syllable words usually get one beat per syllable. However, when two syllables are on one beat, they are connected by an underline. When a "*" or a "+" appears in the text, it means a gong is sounded.]

Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, when deeply practicing prajna paramita, clearly saw that all five aggregates are empty and thus relieved all suffering. Shariputra, form does not differ from emptiness, emptiness does not differ from form. Form itself is emptiness, emptiness itself form. * Sensations, perceptions, formations, and consciousness are also like this. Shariputra, all dharmas are marked by emptiness; they neither arise nor cease, are neither defiled nor pure, neither increase nor decrease. Therefore, given emptiness, there are no forms, sensations, perceptions, formations, or consciousness; no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, or mind; no sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, or objects of mind; no realm of sight, and so forth, down to no realm of mind consciousness. |
There is neither ignorance nor extinction of ignorance, and so forth, down to neither old age and death, nor extinction of old age and death; no suffering, no cause, no cessation, no path; no knowledge and no attainment. * With nothing to attain, a Bodhisattva relies on prajna paramita, and thus the mind is without hindrance. Without hindrance, there is no fear. Far beyond all inverted views, one realizes nirvana. All Buddhas of past, present, and future rely on prajna paramita and thereby attain unsurpassed, complete, perfect enlightenment. Therefore, know the prajna paramita as the great miraculous mantra, the great bright mantra, the supreme mantra, the incomp'rable mantra, which * removes all suffering and is true, not false. Therefore we proclaim the prajna paramita mantra, the mantra that says: + "Gate Gate Paragate + Parasamgate Bodhi Svaha." |
