Avalokiteshvara,
the bodhisatta mahasatta, said to venerable Shariputra:
Form
is emptiness; emptiness also is form.
Emptiness is no other than form; form is no other than emptiness.
In the same way, feeling, perception and consciousness
are emptiness.
Thus, Shariputra, all teachings are emptiness.
There are no characteristics.
There is no birth and no cessation.
There is no impurity and no purity.
There is no decrease and no increase.
Therefore, Shariputra, in emptiness, there is no form, no feeling,
no perception,
no formation, no consciousness; no eye, no ear, no nose, no
tongue, no body, no mind;
no appearance, no sound, no smell, no taste, no touch, no space, no time;
no ignorance, no end of ignorance,
no old age and death, no end of old age and death;
no suffering, no origin of suffering, no cessation of suffering,
no path, no wisdom,
no attainment and no non-attainment.
"Gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha."
Gone, gone, gone beyond, completely gone
beyond, praise to awakening.
