摩訶般若波羅蜜大明呪經
Great Perfection of Wisdom Mantra Sutra
姚秦天竺三藏鳩摩羅什譯
Kumarajiva's Translation
觀世音菩薩行深般若波羅蜜時，照見五陰空，度一切苦厄。
When Guanyin Bodhisattva practiced the profound wisdom that enables one to cross to the other shore, she clearly saw that the five aggregates are all empty of inherent existence, thereby overcoming all suffering and hardship.
「舍利弗！色空故無惱壞相，受空故無受相，想空故無知相，行空故無作相，識空故無覺相。何以故？舍利弗！非色異空，非空異色。色即是空，空即是色。受、想、行、識亦如是。
“Shariputra, because form is empty, it has no nature of being troubled or destroyed. Because feeling is empty, it has no nature of being experienced. Because perception is empty, it has no nature of being known. Because mental formations are empty, they have no nature of being created. Because consciousness is empty, it has no nature of being aware. Why is this? Shariputra, form is not separate from emptiness; emptiness is not separate from form. Form itself is emptiness; emptiness itself is form. The same applies to feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.”
「舍利弗！是諸法空相，不生不滅，不垢不淨，不增不減。是空法，非過去、非未來、非現在。是故空中無色，無受、想、行、識，無眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意，無色、聲、香、味、觸、法，無眼界乃至無意識界，無無明亦無無明盡，乃至無老死無老死盡，無苦、集、滅、道，無智亦無得。
Shariputra, here in this emptiness, all phenomena have no defining characteristics: they are neither born nor destroyed, neither stained nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing. This emptiness is beyond time—not in the past, not in the future, not in the present.
Therefore, in this emptiness, there is no form, no sensation, no perception, no mental formation, no consciousness. No eyes, no ears, no nose, no tongue, no body, no mind. No sights, no sounds, no smells, no tastes, no touch, no thoughts. No realm of sight, nor even any realm of consciousness. No ignorance, and no ending of ignorance. Likewise, no old age and death, nor any ending of old age and death. No suffering, no cause of suffering, no ending of suffering, no path leading beyond suffering. No wisdom, and nothing to attain.
「以無所得故，菩薩依般若波羅蜜故，心無罣礙。無罣礙故，無有恐怖，離一切顛倒夢想苦惱，究竟涅槃。三世諸佛依般若波羅蜜故，得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。
Because there is nothing to attain, the bodhisattva, relying on Prajnaparamita, has no hindrance in the mind. Because there is no hindrance, there is no fear, and they are free from all upside-down views, dream-like illusions, and suffering, ultimately reaching Nirvana. All Buddhas of the past, present, and future, relying on Prajnaparamita, attain Anuttarasamyaksambodhi, the highest and complete enlightenment.
「故知般若波羅蜜是大明呪、無上明呪、無等等明呪，能除一切苦，真實不虛。故說般若波羅蜜呪。」
Therefore, know that the Prajñāpāramitā is the great radiant mantra, the supreme radiant mantra, the unequaled radiant mantra. It can remove all suffering, and it is true, not false. Thus, I speak the Prajñāpāramitā mantra.
即說呪曰：
Then he spoke this mantra:
「竭帝 竭帝 波羅竭帝 波羅僧竭帝 菩提僧莎呵」
Gone, gone, gone beyond, gone altogether beyond—awakening, hail!
