观自在菩萨,行深般若波罗蜜多时
Guān zì zài pú sà, xíng shēn bō rě bō luó mì duō shí
(Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, was practicing deeply the Perfection of Wisdom…)
照见五蕴皆空,度一切苦厄
Zhào jiàn wǔ yùn jiē kōng, dù yī qiè kǔ è
(…clearly saw that the five aggregates are all empty, thus overcoming all suffering and distress.)
舍利子,色不异空,空不异色;色即是空,空即是色
Shè lì zǐ, sè bù yì kōng, kōng bù yì sè; sè jí shì kōng, kōng jí shì sè
(O Shariputra, form does not differ from emptiness, and emptiness does not differ from form; form is emptiness, and emptiness is form.)
受想行识,亦复如是
Shòu xiǎng xíng shí, yì fù rú shì
(The same is true of feelings, perceptions, mental formations, and consciousness.)
舍利子,是诸法空相,不生不灭,不垢不净,不增不减
Shè lì zǐ, shì zhū fǎ kōng xiàng, bù shēng bù miè, bù gòu bù jìng, bù zēng bù jiǎn
(All dharmas (phenomena) are marked by emptiness; they are neither arising nor ceasing, neither impure nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing.)
是故,空中无色,无受想行识;无眼耳鼻舌身意;无色声香味触法
Shì gù, kōng zhōng wú sè, wú shòu xiǎng xíng shí; wú yǎn ěr bí shé shēn yì; wú sè shēng xiāng wèi chù fǎ
(Therefore, in emptiness, there is no form, no feeling, perception, mental formations, or consciousness…)
无眼界,乃至无意识界;无无明,亦无无明尽,乃至无老死,亦无老死尽
Wú yǎn jiè, nǎi zhì wú yì shí jiè; wú wú míng, yì wú wú míng jìn, nǎi zhì wú lǎo sǐ, yì wú lǎo sǐ jìn
(No realm of the eye, all the way up to no realm of consciousness…)
无苦集灭道,无智亦无得,以无所得故
Wú kǔ jí miè dào, wú zhì yì wú dé, yǐ wú suǒ dé gù
(No suffering, origin, cessation, or path; no wisdom and no attainment.)
菩提萨埵,依般若波罗蜜多故,心无挂碍;无挂碍故,无有恐怖,远离颠倒梦想,究竟涅槃
Pú tí sà duǒ, yī bō rě bō luó mì duō gù, xīn wú guà ài; wú guà ài gù, wú yǒu kǒng bù, yuǎn lí diān dǎo mèng xiǎng, jiū jìng niè pán
(Because there is nothing to attain, Bodhisattvas rely on Prajna Paramita…)
三世诸佛,依般若波罗蜜多故,得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提
Sān shì zhū fó, yī bō rě bō luó mì duō gù, dé ā nòu duō luó sān miǎo sān pú tí
(All Buddhas of the past, present, and future, relying on Prajna Paramita, attain Anuttara Samyak Sambodhi.)
故知般若波罗蜜多,是大神咒,是大明咒,是无上咒,是无等等咒,能除一切苦,真实不虚
Gù zhī bō rě bō luó mì duō, shì dà shén zhòu, shì dà míng zhòu, shì wú shàng zhòu, shì wú děng děng zhòu, néng chú yī qiè kǔ, zhēn shí bù xū
(Therefore, know that Prajna Paramita is the great mantra, the mantra of great wisdom…)
故说般若波罗蜜多咒,即说咒曰:揭谛揭谛,波罗揭谛,波罗僧揭谛,菩提萨婆诃
Gù shuō bō rě bō luó mì duō zhòu, jí shuō zhòu yuē: Jiē dì jiē dì, bō luó jiē dì, bō luó sēng jiē dì, pú tí sà pó hē
(Therefore, the Prajna Paramita mantra is proclaimed, and the mantra goes as follows…)
