Mahāprajñāpāramitā Mahāvidyā Mantra Sūtra
Translated by Yao-qin Tripiṭaka Master Kumārajīva

The Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara,
When coursing in the profound Prajñāparamitā,
Saw that the five skandhas are empty,
And overcame all suffering and distress.
O Śāriputra!,
From the emptiness of form, there is no sign of distress and alteration.
From the emptiness of feeling, there is no sign of experience.
From the emptiness of perception, there is no sign of knowing.
From the emptiness of volition, there is no sign of action.
From the emptiness of cognition, there is no sign of awareness.
Therefore, O Śāriputra!,
It is not that form is other than emptiness,
It is not that emptiness is other than form.
That which is form is emptiness,
That which is emptiness is form.
Feeling, perception, volition, and cognition are also likewise.
O Śāriputra!, all these dharmas are signed with emptiness,
Not produced, not ceasing,
Not defiled, not pure,
Not increasing, not decreasing.
These empty dharmas
Are neither past, nor future, nor present.
Therefore, in emptiness –
No form, no feeling, perception, volition or cognition;
No eye, ear, nose, tongue, body or mind;
No form, sound, aroma, flavour, contact or dharma;
No range of the eye, and so on until, no range of mental consciousness;
No ignorance and also no end of ignorance,
And so on until, no aging-and-death, and no end of aging-and-death;
No suffering, accumulation, cessation or path;
No gnosis and also no attainment.
Because of no attainment,
The Bodhisattvas, through relying on prajñāpāramitā,
Have no mental obstructions.
Due to no obstructions there is no fear,
And they forsake all inverted views, deluded perceptions, suffering and distress,
Ultimately reaching nirvāṇa.
The Buddhas of the three periods of time, through relying on prajñāpāramitā,
Realize anuttarā samyaksaṃbodhi.
It should thus be known that prajñāpāramitā is the mantra of great wisdom,
The mantra of supreme wisdom,
The mantra of unequalled wisdom,
Able to appease all suffering, it is true because it is not deceptive.
Invoking the prajñāpāramitā mantra, the mantra is invoked thus:
Gate gate pāragate pārasamgate bodhi svāhā.
