Avalokiteshvara,
who helps all to awaken,
moves
in the deep course of
realizing
wisdom beyond wisdom,
sees
that all five streams of
body,
heart, and mind are without boundary,
and
frees all from anguish.
O
Shariputra [who listens to the teachings of the Buddha],
form
is not separate from boundlessness;
boundlessness
is not separate from form.
Form
is boundlessness; boundlessness is form.
Feelings,
perceptions, inclinations, and discernment are also like this.
O
Shariputra,
boundlessness
is the nature of all things.
It
neither arises nor perishes,
neither
stains nor purifies,
neither
increases nor decreases.
Boundlessness
is not limited by form,
nor
by feelings, perceptions, inclinations, or discernment.
It
is free of the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind;
free
of sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, and any object of mind;
free
of sensory realms, including the realm of the mind.
It
is free of ignorance and the end of ignorance.
Boundlessness
is free of old age and death,
and
free of the end of old age and death.
It
is free of suffering, arising, cessation, and path,
and
free of wisdom and attainment.
Being
free of attainment, those who help all to awaken
abide
in the realization of wisdom beyond wisdom
and
live with an unhindered mind.
Without
hindrance, the mind has no fear.
Free
from confusion, those who lead all to liberation
embody
profound serenity.
All
those in the past, present, and future,
who
realize wisdom beyond wisdom,
manifest
unsurpassable and thorough awakening.
Knowing
that realizing wisdom beyond wisdom
is
no other than this wondrous mantra,
luminous,
unequaled, and supreme.
It
relieves all suffering.
It
is genuine, not illusory.
So
set forth this mantra of realizing wisdom beyond wisdom.
Set
forth this mantra that says:
Gone,
Gone, Gone Beyond, Gone beyond the beyond, Awake, Well Said.
Gone,
Gone, Gone Beyond, Gone beyond the beyond, Awake, Well Said.
Gone,
Gone, Gone Beyond, Gone beyond the beyond, Awake, Well Said.
