The Bodhisattva of Compassion
sitting in the deepest wisdom
saw the hollowness of things
and snapped the ties
that bound him to suffering

Sariputra
form and formlessness are not two
but one thing
feeling and thought, awareness and will
are formless
all the ways of occurrence
are formless
They aren't made or broken
they don't rise or fall
they're not good or bad
|
|
ZE KO KU CHU
MU SHIKI MU JU SO GYO SHIKI
MU GEN NI BI ZE SHIN I
MU SHIKI SHO KO MI SOKU HO

|
|
When all of these are empty
eyes and ears
nose and tongue
body and mind
are gone
Sight and hearing
smell and taste
touch and thought
are gone
all the ways of knowing are gone
|
|
MU MU MYO YAKU MU MU MYO JIN
NAI SHI MU RO SHI
YAKU MU RO SHI JIN
MU KU SHU METSU DO

|
|
But not knowing is gone too
and stopping not knowing
and the outcomes of not knowing:
wasting away, death
they are all gone
hurt is gone, illness is gone, and the cure for it
wisdom is gone
and its getting.

The Bodhisattva, letting everything go
resting in the deepest wisdom
loses his false bonds and the fears they bring
and comes to the clearest light.

All the awakened,
those already gone,
those here now,
those yet to come,
through this deep wisdom
become the clearest light.

So know this flawless wisdom
this bright spell, no others match it,

This is wisdom's endstop
true beyond mistaking
grasp its truth and bring it forth
