Shi Yan Ming's version
As submitted by Richard Sloan
"You could also put in Yi Jin Ying and Xi Xue Jing, since they are also sutras- that's not something many people realize. It is also one of the very important things about Ch'an that separates it from other Buddhist sects- they broke through the barrier and introduced action meditation as a means of achieving enlightenment. That is also one reason why I favor the translation of the Heart Sutra Yan Ming teaches because of that word 'coursing.' The mind is action!"
Prajnaparamita Hrdaya Sutra
When the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara was coursing in the deep Prajnaparamita, he saw that the five skandhas were empty; thus he overcame all ills and suffering. "O Sariputra, form does not differ from the Void, and the Void does not differ from Form. Form is the Void, and the Void is Form; the same is true for feelings, conceptions, impulses, and consciousness. O Sariputra, the characteristics of the Voidness of all Dharmas are not arising, not ceasing, not defiled, not pure, not increasing, not decreasing.
Therefore, in the Void, there are no forms, no feelings, conceptions, impulses, consciousness; no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, or mind; no form, sound smell, taste, touch or mind-object; no eye elements, until we come to no elements of consciousness; no ignorance and also no ending of ignorance, until we come to no old age and death and no ending of old age and death; also there is no truth of suffering, of the cause of suffering, of the cessation of suffering or of the path.
There is no wisdom, and there is no attainment whatsoever. Because there is nothing to be attained a Bodhisattva relying on Prajnaparamita has no obstruction in his mind. Because there is no obstruction he has no fear, and he passes far beyond all confused imagination and reaches Ultimate Nirvana. The Buddhas in the past, present, and future, also by relying on the Prajnaparamita have attained Supreme Enlightenment. Therefore, the Prajnaparamita is the Great Magic Spell, is the Great Spell of Illumination, is the Supreme Spell, is the Unequalled Spell, which can truly protect one from all suffering without fail."
Therefore he uttered the spell of Prajnaparamita, saying:
"Gate, Gate, Paragate, Parasemgate, Bodhi-svaha."
