Maha Prajña Paramita Heart Sutra
Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, doing deep Prajña Paramita,
Clearly saw emptiness of all the five conditions
Thus completely relieving misfortune and pain.
Here Shariputra, form is no other than emptiness, emptiness no other than form;
Form is exactly emptiness, emptiness exactly form.
Sensation, conception, discrimination, awareness are likewise like this.
Here Shariputra, all Dharmas are forms of emptiness:
Not born, not destroyed; not stained, not pure, without loss, without gain.
So in emptiness there is no form, no sensation, no conception, no discrimination, and no awareness.
No eye, no ear, no nose, no tongue, no body, and no mind; no color, no sound, no smell, no taste, no touch, and no phenomena.
No realm of sight, no realm of consciousness, no ignorance and no end to ignorance,
No old age and death, and no end to old age and death,
No suffering, no cause of suffering, no extinguishing, no path, no wisdom and no gain.
No gain and thus the Bodhisattva lives Prajña Paramita.
With no hindrance in the mind. No hindrance, therefore no fear.
Far beyond deluded thoughts, this is Nirvana.
All past, present and future Buddhas live Prajña Paramita
And therefore attain Añutara-Samyak-Sambodhi.
Therefore know Prajña Paramita is the great mantra,
The vivid mantra, the best mantra, the unsurpassable mantra
It completely clears all pain. This is the truth not a lie.
So set forth the Prajña Paramita mantra,
Set forth this mantra and say:
Gate Gate Paragate! Parasamgate! Bodhi Svaha! Prajña Heart Sutra.

Bodhisattva Vows
Beings are numberless, I vow to serve them.
Delusions are inexhaustible, I vow to transform them.
Reality is boundless, I vow to perceive it.
The awakened way is unsurpassable, I vow to embody it.

Night Chant
Life and death are of supreme importance.
Time passes swiftly and opportunity is lost.
Let us awaken.
Awaken!
(Do not squander your life.)
