# The Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore
|
||
TRANSLATION BY THICH NHAT HANH
|
||
|
||
Or The Heart of the Perfection of Wisdom
|
||
|
||
Avalokiteshvara
|
||
while practicing deeply with
|
||
the Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore,
|
||
suddenly discovered that
|
||
all of the five Skandhas are equally empty,
|
||
and with this realisation
|
||
he overcame all Ill-being.
|
||
|
||
"Listen Sariputra,
|
||
this Body itself is Emptiness
|
||
and Emptiness itself is this Body.
|
||
This Body is not other than Emptiness
|
||
and Emptiness is not other than this Body.
|
||
The same is true of Feelings,
|
||
Perceptions, Mental Formations,
|
||
and Consciousness.
|
||
|
||
"Listen Sariputra,
|
||
all phenomena bear the mark of Emptiness;
|
||
their true nature is the nature of
|
||
no Birth no Death,
|
||
no Being no Non-being,
|
||
no Defilement no Purity,
|
||
no Increasing no Decreasing.
|
||
|
||
"That is why in Emptiness,
|
||
Body, Feelings, Perceptions,
|
||
Mental Formations and Consciousness
|
||
are not separate self entities.
|
||
|
||
The Eighteen Realms of Phenomena
|
||
which are the six Sense Organs,
|
||
the six Sense Objects,
|
||
and the six Consciousnesses
|
||
are also not separate self entities.
|
||
|
||
The Twelve Links of Interdependent Arising
|
||
and their Extinction
|
||
are also not separate self entities.
|
||
|
||
Ill-being, the Causes of Ill-being,
|
||
the End of Ill-being, the Path, insight and attainment,
|
||
are also not separate self entities.
|
||
|
||
Whoever can see this
|
||
no longer needs anything to attain.
|
||
|
||
Bodhisattvas who practice
|
||
the Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore
|
||
see no more obstacles in their mind,
|
||
and because there
|
||
are no more obstacles in their mind,
|
||
they can overcome all fear,
|
||
destroy all wrong perceptions
|
||
and realize Perfect Nirvana.
|
||
|
||
"All Buddhas in the past, present and future
|
||
by practicing
|
||
the Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore
|
||
are all capable of attaining
|
||
Authentic and Perfect Enlightenment.
|
||
|
||
"Therefore Sariputra,
|
||
it should be known that
|
||
the Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore
|
||
is a Great Mantra,
|
||
the most illuminating mantra,
|
||
the highest mantra,
|
||
a mantra beyond compare,
|
||
the True Wisdom that has the power
|
||
to put an end to all kinds of suffering.
|
||
Therefore let us proclaim
|
||
a mantra to praise
|
||
the Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore:
|
||
|
||
Gate, Gate, Paragate, Parasamgate, Bodhi Svaha!
|
||
Gate, Gate, Paragate, Parasamgate, Bodhi Svaha!
|
||
Gate, Gate, Paragate, Parasamgate, Bodhi Svaha!
