经文选录 Selected Passages
观自在菩萨，行深般若波罗蜜多时，照见五蕴皆空，度一切苦厄。
舍利子，色不异空，空不异色，色即是空，空即是色，受想行识，亦复如是。
舍利子，是诸法空相，不生不灭，不垢不净，不增不减。
是故空中无色，无受想行识，无眼耳鼻舌身意，无色声香味触法，无眼界，乃至无意识界。
无无明，亦无无明尽，乃至无老死，亦无老死尽。无苦集灭道，无智亦无得。
以无所得故，菩提萨埵，依般若波罗蜜多故，心无挂碍。无挂碍故，无有恐怖，远离颠倒梦想，究竟涅槃。
三世诸佛，依般若波罗蜜多故，得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。
故知般若波罗蜜多，是大神咒，是大明咒，是无上咒，是无等等咒，能除一切苦，真实不虚。
故说般若波罗蜜多咒，即说咒曰：
揭谛揭谛，波罗揭谛，波罗僧揭谛，菩提萨婆诃。
——《般若波罗蜜多心经》唐·玄奘译When Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva was practicing the profound prajnaparamita, he illuminated the five aggregates and saw that they are all empty, and crossed beyond all suffering and difficulty.
Sariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form. Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Feeling, perception, formation, and consciousness are also like this.
Sariputra, all dharmas are marked with emptiness — they neither arise nor cease, are neither defiled nor pure, neither increase nor decrease.
Therefore, in emptiness there is no form, no feeling, perception, formation, or consciousness; no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, or mind; no sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, or dharmas.
There is no ignorance and no extinction of ignorance, and so on to no aging and death and no extinction of aging and death. There is no suffering, no accumulation, no cessation, no path. There is no wisdom and no attainment.
With nothing to attain, the Bodhisattva relies on prajnaparamita, and the mind is without hindrance. Without hindrance, there is no fear. Far from all inverted dreams and thoughts, one ultimately attains nirvana.
Gate gate, paragate, parasamgate, bodhi svaha.
核心义理 Core Teachings
一、五蕴皆空。构成人的色、受、想、行、识五种要素本质上都是空的——没有独立、永恒、不变的本质。
二、色即是空，空即是色。物质现象与空性不可分割。如同水与波：波就是水，水就是波。
三、心无挂碍，究竟涅槃。了悟空性后，心中无执着、无恐惧，达到究竟解脱。
历史与影响 Historical Significance
