The Maha Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra
Perceiving that all five skandhas are empty saves all beings from suffering.
Form does not differ from emptiness,
emptiness does not differ from form.
Form is emptiness, emptiness is form.
No appearing, no disappearing.
No taint, no purity.
No increase, no decrease.
All dharmas are marked with emptiness.
No cognition—no attainment.
Nirvana.
Unexcelled perfect enlightenment—anuttara samyak sambodhi.
Gate, gate, paragate, parasamgate, bodhi svaha!
