Praise to Shakyamuni Buddha

To the founder, the endowed transcendent destroyer, the one gone beyond,the foe destroyer, the completely perfected, fully awakened being,perfect in knowledge and in good conduct, Sugata, knower of the world,

supreme guide of human beings to be tamed, teacher of gods and humanbeings; to you, the completely and fully awakened one, the endowed transcendentdestroyer, the glorious conqueror, the subduer from the Shakyaclan, I prostrate, make offerings, and go for refuge. (3x)

When, O supreme amongst humans, you were born on this earth,You paced out seven strides,Then said, I am supreme in this world.To you, who were wise then, I prostrate.

With pure bodies, form supremely pure;Wisdom ocean, like a golden mountain;

Fame that blazes in the three worlds,Winner of the best Lord, to you I prostrate.

With the supreme signs, face like spotless moon,Color like gold to you, I prostrate.Dust-free like you, the three worlds are not.Incomparably wise one to you, I prostrate.

The savior having great compassion,The founder having all understanding,The field of merit with qualities like a vast ocean To you, the one gone to thusness, I prostrate.

The purity that frees one from attachment,The virtue that frees one from the lower realms,The one path, the sublime pure reality

To the Dharma that pacifies, I prostrate.

Those who are liberated and who also show the path to liberation,The holy field qualified with realizations,Who are devoted to the moral preceptsTo you, the sublime community intending virtue, I prostrate.

Homage to the supreme Buddha!

Homage to the Dharma refuge!Homage to the great Sangha!To all three, ever-devout homage!

To all worthy of respect,Bowing with bodies as many asAll realms atoms, in all aspects,With supreme faith I pay homage.


4/18

Do not commit any non-virtuous actions,Perform only perfect virtuous actions,Subdue your mind thoroughlyThis is the teaching of the Buddha.

A star, a visual aberration, a flame of a lamp,

An illusion, a drop of dew, or a bubble,A dream, a flash of lightning, a cloudSee conditioned things as such!

Through these merits may sentient beingsAttain the rank of all seeing, subdue the foe of faults,

And be delivered from samsaras ocean, Perturbed by the waves of aging, sickness, and death.

The Heart of the Perfection of Wisdom Sutra Heart Sutra(rya Bhagavat Praj Paramita Hridaya Stra Prajna Paramita Hridaya Sutra)

Thus did I hear at one time. The Bhagavan was dwelling on Mass of


10/18

Vultures Mountain in Rajagriha together with a great community of monksand a great community of bodhisattvas. At that time, the Bhagavan wasabsorbed in the concentration on the categories of phenomena calledProfound Perception.Also, at that time, the bodhisattva mahasattva arya Avalokiteshvaralooked upon the very practice of the profound perfection of wisdom and

beheld those five aggregates also as empty of inherent nature.Then, through the power of Buddha, the venerable Shariputra saidthis to the bodhisattva mahasattva arya Avalokiteshvara: How shouldany son of the lineage train who wishes to practice the activity of theprofound perfection of wisdom?He said that and the bodhisattva mahasattva arya Avalokiteshvara saidthis to the venerable Sharadvatiputra. Shariputra, any son of the lineageor daughter of the lineage who wishes to practice the activity of theprofound perfection of wisdom should look upon it like this, correctlyand repeatedly beholding those five aggregates also as empty of inherentnature.

Form is empty. Emptiness is form. Emptiness is not other than form;form is also not other than emptiness. In the same way, feeling, discrimination,compositional factors, and consciousness are empty.Shariputra, likewise, all phenomena are emptiness; without characteristic;unproduced, unceased; stainless, not without stain; not deficient,not fulfilled.

Shariputra, therefore, in emptiness there is no form, no feeling, no discrimination, no compositional factors, no consciousness; no eye, noear, no nose, no tongue, no body, no mind; no visual form, no sound, noodor, no taste, no object of touch,and no phenomenon. There is no eyeelement and so on up to and including no mind element and no mentalconsciousness element. There is no ignorance, no extinction of ignorance,

and so on up to and including no aging and death and no extinction ofaging and death. Similarly, there is no suffering, origination, cessation,and path; there is no exalted wisdom, no attainment, and also no nonattainment.Shariputra, therefore, because there is no attainment, bodhisattvasrely on and dwell in the perfection of wisdom, the mind without obscurationand without fear. Having completely passed beyond error, they reachthe end-point of nirvana. All the buddhas who dwell in the three timesalso manifestly, completely awaken to unsurpassable, perfect, completeenlightenment in reliance on the perfection of wisdom.

Therefore, the mantra of the perfection of wisdom, the mantra ofgreat knowledge, the unsurpassed mantra, the mantra equal to the

unequaled, the mantra that thoroughly pacifies all suffering, should beknown as truth since it is not false. The mantra of the perfection ofwisdom is declared:

Mantra Recitation

From the heart of the principal field of merit, Buddha Shakyamuni,infinite light rays emanate, reaching all environments and all beings.

They dissolve into light and gradually gather into all the other objectsin the field of merit. These dissolve into Buddha Shakyamuni who thendissolves into your root guru at the crown of your head, instantly transformingyour root guru into the aspect of Guru Shakyamuni Buddha.

He diminishes in size and descends from your crown to your heart.His mind and your mind become one nature.
