國大德三藏法師沙門法成譯
Translated by the Great Virtuous Tripitaka Master of the Nation, the Śramaṇa Facheng.
如是我聞：
Thus have I heard:
一時薄伽梵住王舍城鷲峯山中，與大苾蒭眾及諸菩薩摩訶薩俱。爾時，世尊等入甚深明了三摩地法之異門。復於爾時，觀自在菩薩摩訶薩行深般若波羅蜜多時，觀察照見五蘊體性悉皆是空。
At one time, the Bhagavān was dwelling on Vulture Peak Mountain in Rājagṛha, together with a great assembly of bhikṣus and bodhisattva mahāsattvas. At that time, the World-Honored One entered evenly into the profound and clear samādhi, the gateway to the distinctive aspects of the Dharma. Then, at that time, the bodhisattva mahāsattva Avalokiteśvara, while practicing the profound prajñāpāramitā, clearly perceived and illuminated the five aggregates, seeing that their essential nature is entirely empty.
時，具壽舍利子，承佛威力，白聖者觀自在菩薩摩訶薩曰：「若善男子欲修行甚深般若波羅蜜多者，復當云何修學？」作是語已。
Then, the Venerable Shariputra, empowered by the Buddha's blessing, addressed the Holy Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, the Great Being, saying: "If a virtuous man wishes to practice the profound Perfection of Wisdom, how should he train?" Having spoken these words.
觀自在菩薩摩訶薩答具壽舍利子言：「若善男子及善女人，欲修行甚深般若波羅蜜多者，彼應如是觀察，五蘊體性皆空。色即是空，空即是色。色不異空，空不異色。如是受、想、行、識亦復皆空。是故舍利子！一切法空性無相，無生無滅，無垢離垢，無減無增。舍利子！是故爾時空性之中，無色、無受、無想、無行亦無有識。無眼、無耳、無鼻、無舌、無身、無意。無色、無聲、無香、無味、無觸、無法。無眼界乃至無意識界。無無明亦無無明盡，乃至無老死亦無老死盡。無苦、集、滅、道，無智無得亦無不得。是故舍利子！以無所得故，諸菩薩眾依止般若波羅蜜多，心無障礙，無有恐怖，超過顛倒，究竟涅槃。三世一切諸佛亦皆依般若波羅蜜多故，證得無上正等菩提。舍利子！是故當知般若波羅蜜多大密咒者，是大明咒，是無上咒，是無等等咒。能除一切諸苦之咒，真實無倒。故知般若波羅蜜多是祕密咒。」
The great Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva said to the venerable Shariputra: "If any good man or good woman wishes to practice the profound Perfection of Wisdom, they should observe in this way: the nature of all five aggregates is empty. Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Form does not differ from emptiness, emptiness does not differ from form. In the same way, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also all empty. Therefore, Shariputra, all phenomena have the nature of emptiness, without characteristics, without birth, without cessation, without defilement, without separation from defilement, without decrease, without increase.
Shariputra, therefore, in that state of emptiness, there is no form, no feeling, no perception, no mental formations, no consciousness. No eyes, no ears, no nose, no tongue, no body, no mind. No sights, no sounds, no smells, no tastes, no touches, no objects of mind. No realm of eyes... up to no realm of consciousness. No ignorance, nor ending of ignorance... up to no old age and death, nor ending of old age and death. No suffering, no cause of suffering, no ending of suffering, no path. No wisdom, no attainment, no non-attainment.
Therefore, Shariputra, because they have nothing to attain, all bodhisattvas rely on the Perfection of Wisdom, their minds have no obstacles. Having no obstacles, they have no fear. They transcend all confusion and reach ultimate peace. All Buddhas of the past, present, and future also rely on the Perfection of Wisdom to attain supreme perfect enlightenment.
Shariputra, therefore know that the Perfection of Wisdom is the great sacred mantra, the great illuminating mantra, the supreme mantra, the incomparable mantra. It is the mantra that removes all suffering, true and undeniable. Thus the Perfection of Wisdom is the secret mantra."
即說般若波羅蜜多咒曰：
Then he spoke the Heart Sutra’s mantra, saying:
「峩帝 峩帝 波囉峩帝 波囉僧峩帝 菩提 莎訶
Gone, gone, gone beyond, gone completely beyond, enlightenment, so be it.
「舍利子！菩薩摩訶薩應如是修學甚深般若波羅蜜多。」
Shariputra, a great bodhisattva should learn and practice the profound perfection of wisdom in precisely this way.
爾時，世尊從彼定起，告聖者觀自在菩薩摩訶薩曰：「善哉，善哉！善男子！如是，如是！如汝所說。彼當如是修學般若波羅蜜多。一切如來亦當隨喜。」
Then, the World-Honored One arose from that meditation and said to the noble Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva Mahāsattva: "Excellent, excellent! Good son! So it is, so it is! It is just as you have said. One should train in the Perfection of Wisdom exactly like that. All Tathāgatas will also rejoice in this."
時薄伽梵說是語已。具壽舍利子，聖者觀自在菩薩摩訶薩，一切世間天、人、阿蘇羅、乾闥婆等，聞佛所說，皆大歡喜，信受奉行。
When the Bhagavan had finished speaking these words, the Venerable Shariputra, the Noble Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva Mahāsattva, and all the beings of the world—gods, humans, asuras, gandharvas, and others—hearing what the Buddha had said, rejoiced greatly, accepted it with faith, and undertook to practice it accordingly.
