How great, the robe of liberation,

a formless field of merit

Wrapping ourselves in the Buddha’s teaching,

we free all living beings.

All my past and harmful karma

Born from beginningless greed, hate, and delusion,

Through body, speech and mind,

I now fully avow.

◯◯◯ The Great Heart of Wisdom Sutra

Kan-non the Bodhi-sattva of Com-passion was prac-tic-ing the deepest

wis-dom he clear-ly saw that the five ◯ agg-re-gates are emp-ty

thus tran-scend-ing dis-tress and suf-fering.

Oh Sha-ri-pu-tra, form is no other than emp-ti-ness, emp-ti-ness no

other than form, form is exact-ly emp-ti-ness, emp-ti-ness exac-tly form.

Feel-ing, thought, im-pulse and con-scious-ness are like-wise like this.

Oh Sha-ri-pu-tra, re-mem-ber, Dhar-ma is fun-da-men-tal-ly emp-ti-

ness, no birth, no death. Noth-ing is pure, noth-ing is de-filed. Noth-ing

can increase, noth-ing can de-crease. Hence: in emp-ti-ness, no form, no

feel-ing, no thought, no im-pulse, no con-scious-ness; No eye, no ear,

no nose, no tongue, no bod-y, no mind; no see-ing, no hear-ing, no

smell-ing, no tast-ing, no touch-ing, no think-ing, no realm of sight, no

realm of thought, no ig-nor-ance and no end of ig-nor-ance, no old age

and death and no end to old age and death. No suf-fer-ing, no crav-ing

no ex-tinc-tion, no path, no wis-dom, no at-tain-ment. In- deed, there is

noth-ing to be at-tained; the Bod-hi-satt-vas live this ◯ deep-est wis-

dom with no hin-drance in the mind, no hin-drance therefore

no fear. Far be-yond de-lu-sive think-ing they fin-al-ly a-wa-ken to

com-plete Nir-van-a. All Budd-has, Bodh-i-satt-vas of past, pres-ent and

fu-ture live this ◯ deep-est wisdom

and there-fore reach the most su-preme en-light-en-ment. There-fore

know that this wis-dom, be-yond wis-dom is the great-est Dha-ran-i, the

bright-est Dha-ran-i, the high-est Dha-ran-i, the peer-less Dha-ran-i. It

com-plete-ly ends all suf-fer-ing. Know this as truth and do not doubt. So

set forth this pro-found wis-dom Dha-r-ani. Set forth this Dha-r-ani and

de-clare: Gone ◯, gone, gone to the oth-er shore, ◯ at-tained the oth-

er shore, to be-yond the oth-er shore, hav-ing nev-er left.
