Denna korta text är en koncentrerad essens av buddhismen, som jag älskar älskar älskar :hjärta :hjärta :hjärta behöver lite andlig spis. Jag förstår inte hela texten men det är det, mysteriet, som jag älskar. Och poesin. Here it comes...
The Heart Sutra:
The noble Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, while practicing the deep practice of Prajnaparamita,
looked upon The Five Skandhas and seeing they were empty of self-existence,
said,"Here Shariputra, form is emptiness, emptiness is form;
emptiness is not separate from form, form is not separate from emptiness;
whatever is form is emptiness, whatever is emptiness is form.
The same holds for sensation and perception, memory and consciouness.
Here, Shariputra, all Dharmas are defined by emptiness.
Not birth or destruction, purity or defilement, completeness or deficiency.
Therefore Shariputra, in emptiness there is no form, no sensation, no perception,
no memory and no consciousness;
no eye, no ear, no nose, no tounge, no body and no mind;
no shape, no sound, no smell, no taste, no feeling and no thought;
no element of perception, from eye to conceptual consciousness;
no causal link from ignorance to old age and death,
and no end of causal link, from ignorance to old age and death;
no suffering, no source, no relief, no path; no knowledge, no attainment
and no non-attainment.
Therefore Shariputra, without attainment, bodhisattvas take refuge in Prajnaparamita
and live without walls of the mind. Without walls of the mind and thus without fears,
they see through delusions and finally nirvana.
All Buddhas past, present and future also take refuge in Prajnaparamita
and realize unexelled, perfect enlightenment.
You should therefore know the great mantra of Prajnaparamita, the mantra
equal to the unequalled, which heals all suffering and is true, not false.
The mantra in Prajnaparamita spoken thus:
"Gate gate, paragate, parasangate, bodhi svaha."
