Avalokiteshvara
bodhisattva was practicing
profound wisdom transcendent radiantly when he saw
the fivefold personality is nought saw o
Sariputra being and
nought are no different nought no
different from being being no
different from nought being here
nought there nought here being there even so

unborn impure ungrowing unshrinking hence
Sariputra in nought there is no being no
sensation no thinking no will no awareness no eye ear no
nose tongue body mind no being
sound smell taste touch nor dharmas no seeing
even to the realm of vision no brightness
no brightness no brightness exhaustion no brightness exhaustion even to age
no age exhaustion no suffering
end of suffering nor way no knowing no
possessing no witnessing no possession thus the
bodhisattva in wisdom transcendent dwells wherein
thought has no obstacle brightness exhaustion no brightness exhaustion even to age
no brightness exhaustion no suffering
end of suffering nor way no knowing no
possessing no witnessing no possession thus the
bodhisattva in wisdom transcendent dwells wherein
thought has no obstacle thought has no obstacle no existence
fear terror upturn downturn separation perfectly
standing nirvana the three worlds knows as experience all Buddhas

final perfect knowledge of Buddhaness therefore
come to know wisdom
transcendent the great charm the great clear charm unsurpassed
charm unequaled equal charm all suffering
cease at last in truth actual not vain wisdom
transcendent declared this charm saying vanished
vanished utterly vanished utterly totally vanished enlightened amen |
