般若波羅蜜多心經【英文版】

THE　HEART　OF　PRAJNA　PARAMITA　SUTRA

般若波羅蜜多經的核心

When　*alokiteshvara　Bodhisattva　was　practicing　the　profound　prajna　paramita；　he　illuminated　the　five　skandhas　and　saw　that　they　are　all　empty；　and　he　crossed　beyond　all　suffering　and　difficulty。

Shariputra；　form　does　not　differ　from　emptiness；　emptiness　does　not　differ　from　form。　Form　itself　is　emptiness；　emptiness　itself　is　form。　So；　too；　are　feeling；　cognition；　formation；　and　consciousness。

Because　nothing　is　attained；　the　Bodhisattva　through　reliance　on　prajna　paramita　is　unimpeded　in　his　mind。　Because　there　is　no　impediment；　he　is　not　afraid；　and　he　le*es　distorted　dream…thinking　far　behind。　Ultimately　Nirvana！

All　Buddhas　of　the　three　periods　of　time　attain　Anuttara…samyak…sambodhi　through　reliance　on　prajna　paramita。　Therefore；　know　that　prajna　paramita　is　a　great　spiritual　mantra；　a　great　bright　mantra；　a　supreme　mantra；　an　unequalled　mantra。　It　can　remove　all　suffering；　it　is　genuine　and　not　false。　That　is　wh
