《心经》英文版般若波罗密多心经

Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra.

观自在菩萨 行深般若波罗蜜多时

The Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, through deep contemplation of the Prajnaparamita for a long time,

arya-avalokitesvaro bodhisattvo gambhiram prajnaparamitacaryam caramano vyavalokayati sma:

照见五蕴皆空 (度一切苦厄)

realised that the Five Skandhas are all but Emptiness (and hence, was relieved of all suffering and difficulties.)

panca-skandhas tams ca svabhavasunyan pasyati sma.

舍利子 色不异空 空不异色

Oh Sariputra, ???? does not differ from Emptiness, and Emptiness does not differ from ????.

iha sariputra, rupam sunyata sunyataiva rupam, rupan na prithak sunyata sunyataya na prithag rupam,

色即是空 空即是色 受想行识 亦复如是

???? is actually Emptiness, and Emptiness is actually ????. So too are Feelings, Perception, Volition, and Consciousness.

yad rupam sa sunyata ya sunyata tad rupam; evam eva vedana-samjna-samskara-vijnanam.

舍利子 是诸法空相 不生不灭

Oh Sariputra, all Dharmas are empty; they are neither created nor destroyed,

iha sariputra, sarva-dharmah sunyata-laksala, anutpanna aniruddha,

不垢不净 不增不减

Neither tainted nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing.

amala avimala, anuna aparipurnah.

是故空中无色 无受想行识

Therefore, Sariputra, in the midst of emptiness there is no ????, no Feelings, no Perception, no Volition and no Consciousness.

tasmac chariputra sunyatayam na rupam, na vedana na samjna na samskarah na vijnanam.

无眼耳鼻舌身意 无色声香味触法

No Eyes, Ears, Nose, Tongue, Body and Mind. No ????, Sound, Smell, Taste, Touch and Dharmas.

na caksuh-srotra-ghrana-jihva-kaya-manamsi. na rupa-sabda-gandha-rasa-sprastavya-dharmah.

无眼界 乃至无意识界

From no realm for Visualization through no realm for Consciousness.

na caksur-dhatur yavan na manovijnana-dhatuh.

无无明 亦无无明尽

From no Ignorance and therefore no extinction of Ignorance,

na-avidya na-avidya-ksayo

乃至无老死 亦无老死尽

to no Ageing and Death and therefore no cessation of Aging and Death.

yavan na jaramaranam na jara-marana-ksayo.

无苦集灭道

No accumulation of Suffering and hence no path for the extinction of Suffering.

na duhkha-samudaya-nirodha-marga.

无智亦无得

No Wisdom and therefore no attainment (of whatsoever there was to attain).

na jnanam, na praptir na-apraptih.

以无所得故 菩提萨陲 依般若波罗蜜多故

Because there is nothing to attain, the Bodhisattva, through following the Prajnaparamita,

tasmac chariputra apraptitvad bodhisattvasya prajnaparamitam asritya

心无挂碍 无挂碍故 无有恐怖

is freed of all concerns and obstacles. As there are no concerns and obstacles, there is no fear;

vibaraty acittavaranah. cittavarana-nastitvad atrasto.

远离颠倒梦想 究竟涅盘

estrangement (freed, separated) from confusion and illusion; and ultimately reaching Nirvana.

viparyasa-ati-kranto nistha-nirvana-praptah

三世诸佛 依般若波罗蜜多故

All Buddhas in the past, present, and future, follow the Prajnaparamita,

tryadhva-vyavasthitah sarva-buddhah prajnaparamitam asritya-

得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提

to reach the ultimate and perfect Enlightenment.

anut-taram samyaksambodhim abhisambuddhah.

故知般若波罗蜜多 是大神咒 是大明咒

Therefore it is known that the Prajnaparamita is the Great Divine Mantra, it is the Great Awakening Mantra

tasmaj jnatavyam: prajnaparamita maha-mantro mahavidya-mantro

是无上咒 是无等等咒

that is unsurpassed and unequalled by other mantras.

'nuttara-mantro samasama-mantrah,

能除一切苦 真实不虚

It eliminates all suffering. It is real, factual and not imaginary.

sarva-duhkha-prasamanah, satyam amithyatvat.

故说般若波罗蜜多咒 即说咒曰

Therefore, to reciting the Prajnaparamita mantra is to recite the spell:

prajnaparamitayam ukto mantrah. tadyatha:

揭谛揭谛 波罗揭谛 波罗僧揭谛 菩提娑婆诃

“Gate, gate. Para gate. Para sam gate Bodhi, svaha!”

gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha.
