Namah sarvajnaaya
-Adoration to the Omniscient!

Aaryaavalokiteshvara-bodhisattvo gambhiiraayaam prajnaapaaramitaayaam caryaam caramaano vyavalokayati sma: panca skandhaah; taamshca svabhaava-shuunyaan pashyati sma.
-When Holy Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva performed the deep practice in the Perfection of Transcendent Wisdom, he contemplated that there were five aggregates but observed that they were devoid of essential nature.

Iha Shaariputra ruupam shuunyataa shuunyataiva ruupam, ruupaan na prithak shuunyataa, shuunyataayaa na prithag ruupam, yad ruupam saa shuunyataa, yaa shuunyataa tad ruupam.
-In this case, Shaariputra, form is voidness and voidness is itself form; voidness is not different from form, and form is not different from voidness; that which is form is voidness, and that which is voidness is form.

Evem eva vedanaa-samjnaa-samskaara-vijnaanaani.
-So it is for perception, conception, volition and consciousness.

Iha Shaariputra sarva-dharmaah shuunyataa-lakshanaa, anutpannaa, aniruddhaa, amalaa, na vimalaa, nonaa, na paripuurnaah.
-In this case, Shaariputra, all things have the characteristics of voidness; they neither arise nor perish; they are neither defiled nor pure, neither deficient nor complete.

Tasmaac Chaariputra shuunyaayaam na ruupam na vedanaa na samjnaa na samskaaraa na vijnaanaani.
-Therefore, Shaariputra, within the voidness, there is no form, no perception, no conception, no volition, nor consciousness.

Na cakshuh-shrotra-ghraana-jihvaa-kaaya-manaamsi.
-Neither is there eye, ear, nose, tongue, body or mind.

Na ruupa-shabda-gandha-rasa-sprashtavya-dharmaah.
-Neither is there form, sound, smell, taste, touch nor concepts.

Na cakshurdhaatur yaavan na mano-vijnaana-dhaatuh.
-Neither is there realm of sight, etc., until we come to the non-existence of realm of consciousness.

Na vidyaa, naavidyaa, na vidyaa-kshayo, naavidyaa-kshayo, yaavan na jaraa-maranam na jaraamarana-kshayo, na duhkha-samudaya-nirodha-maargaa, na jnaanam, na praaptir apraaptitvena.
-Neither is there wisdom, nor ignorance, nor extinction of wisdom, nor extinction of ignorance, etc., until we come to the non-existence of old age and death and the non-extinction of old age and death. Neither is there suffering, cause of suffering, extinction of suffering, nor the path leading to extinction of suffering. Neither is there wisdom nor acquisition because there is no grasping.

Bodhisattvasya prajnaapaaramitaam aashritya viharaty acittaavaranah. Cittaavarana-naastitvaad atrasto, viparyaasaatikraanto nishtha-nirvaanah.
-Depending on the bodhisattva's Perfection of Transcendent Wisdom, one dwells without any mental hindrance. Because of the absence of mental hindrance, one is fearless; freed from delusory thoughts, one will reach Nirvana.

Tryadhva-vyavasthitaah sarvabuddhaah prajnaapaaramitaam aashrityaanuttaraam samyaksambodhim abhisambuddhaah.
-All Buddhas dwelling in the three periods realize the highest, perfect enlightenment depending on the Perfection of Transcendent Wisdom.

Tasmaaj jnaatavyo prajnaapaaramitaa-mahaamantro mahaavidyaa-mantro 'nuttara-mantro 'samasama-mantrah, sarvadukha-prashamanah, satyam amithyatvaat, prajnaapaaramitaayaam ukto mantrah.
-For this reason, know that the Great Mantra of the Perfection of Transcendent Wisdom is the Great Wisdom Mantra, the Unsurpassed Mantra, and the Unequaled Mantra. It extinguishes all suffering, and is true and real because it is not false. It is the Mantra proclaimed in the Perfection of Transcendent Wisdom.

Tad yathaa gate gate paaragate paarasamgate bodhi svaaha.
-Namely, "Gone, gone, gone to the other shore;
Gone completely to the other shore.
Svaha."

Iti prajnaapaaramitaa-hridayam samaaptam.
-Thus ends the Essence of the Transcendent Wisdom Sutra.

@MultiPopculture All religions were created for the same purpose, to bring us all together and keep hatred at bay. All religions have been altered to suit political and economical agendas of that time, but ALL GODS AND SAVIORS AND MESSIAHS NO MATTER WHAT YOU WANT TO CALL THEM WANT ONLY ONE THING, Peace between all things, people, and religions. GODS DO NOT HATE, ANGER, OR ENVY. They just offer their unconditional love and guidance.

when tsunami come, it does not recognise who is buddhist, christian or muslim etc.It sweep away all . Our body does not recognise us in the name of religion, everyone is subject to pain, sickness, old age and death .Every body with whatever religion have to face worry, fear, sorrow in life.We are all the same .Arguing, scolding in the name of religion can never overcome the aforesaid issues .When we have duality concept, we shall end up with no inner peace,wisdom and sincere compassion.

@ 2:03 .... "shroom!"

[themindzi]

the biggest secret we dont know and have hard time accepting due to our blindness....is.....we are the creators of our own reality and most of the shaping/molding of what manifests into our life comes from our THINKING. so watch your THOUGHTS. when ur mad, dont vent to yourself and spite your enemy. work on eliminating enemies, send them love. your thoughts will follow you like a shadow. vibrate in love. namaste.

[KingLama1]

Why talk of Gods, there are none, only you. The Cosmos. Buddha was born of flesh. Buddhism not a religon but a way of life. Enlightenment comes with realising who we are, how we act on others, our planet, When must care for it. The Earth is our Garden of Eden.

You are mere visitors, energy, spend your time here with mother earth carefully, happily, leave only your footprints and positive energies for mother earth to use for others.

you are a child of the universe, you have a right to be here.

@Ubuntu4yourpc God is not the cause of peoples pain, if we all blamed god for our suffering, we would never heal. You are right, the concept of god doesn't really exist, but what is god? Is he a being or an awareness? Or is he both? If god could judge than, he would have a consciousness which means that god is a being and would mean that he would go away just like "I" and not be omnipotent.

[samaz2u]

@blessedyoga So does peace come out of that or nothing maybe, maybe what if.

[Jigov]

@darkhunter2033 How do you know what gods want? Do you drink cofe everyday with them? :) I think exactly the oposite. Religions are created to split peoople - "split and conquer" and to manipulate, to control and dominate above people. Religions are actually a way to control a country. You have the proofs everwhere on earth.

[Ubuntu4yourpc]

@Ubuntu4yourpc ...new religions should be created that will help people overcome their problems , support them and make become better and stronger and think that they have a shelter. No judgement and guilty shit.

Scientology wants money, christians are hypocrits with a pathetic religions, buddhists believe that they will live as an insect in their next life etc etc useless bullshit.

[Ubuntu4yourpc]

We all know that religions belong to the realm of fantasy and has nothing to do with reality.

Anyway i dont like religions that burnens their believers with sins and guilts its pathetic and sick.

God doesn't exist but even if he existed i would like to curse at him for the pain and suffering of people i would spit to his face without any fear, but ofcourse that will never happen cause god is just a fairytale , at least religions should help people that would be nice and not make them hermits...

[blessedyoga]

You don't have to believe in god to get to god. Nor do you have to believe in faith but to understand faith as faith is what makes you whole. Never listen to a inner voice that comes and goes beyond recognition. Just a wind likes to go by so does your thoughts that flee in the sign of trouble. Never will we understand the meaning of life because what is their to understand? Understanding nothing will get you nowhere, nor will knowing something. But where is their to go?
