<td colspan="2" width="671"><strong>Thus have I heard:  once the Blessed One was dwelling in the   royal domain of the Vulture Peak Mountain, together with a great gathering of   monks and Bodhisattvas.  At that time   the Blessed One entered the Samadhi which examines the dharmas, called the   “Profound Illumination,” and at the same time noble Avalokiteshvara, the   Bodhisattva-Mahasattva, looking at the profound practice of transcendent   knowledge, saw the five skandhas and their natural emptiness. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Then through the inspiration of the   Buddha, Shariputra said to Avalokiteshvara:    “How should those noble ones learn, who wish to follow the profound   practice of transcendent knowledge?”    And Avalokiteshvara answered: “Shariputra, whoever wishes to follow   the profound practice of transcendent knowledge should look at it like this,   seeing the five skandhas and their natural emptiness.  Form is emptiness, emptiness itself is   form; emptiness is no other than form, form is no other than emptiness; in   the same way feeling, perception, concept and consciousness are   emptiness.  Thus all the dharmas are emptiness   and have no characteristics.  They are   unborn and unceasing, they are not impure or pure, and they neither decrease   nor increase.  Therefore since there is   emptiness there is no form, no perception, no concept, no consciousness; No   eye, no ear, no nose, no tongue, no body, no mind.  No quality of sight, no quality of hearing,   no quality of smelling, no quality of tasting no quality of sensing, no   quality of thought, no quality of mind consciousness;  there are no nidanas from ignorance to old   age and death, nor their wearing out;    there is no suffering, no cause of suffering, no ending of suffering   and no path; no wisdom, no attainment and no non-attainment. Therefore since   there is no attainment, the Bodhisattvas abide by means of transcendent   knowledge; and since there is no obscurity of mind they have no fear, they   transcend falsity and pass beyond the bounds of sorrow.  All Buddhas who dwell in the past, present   and future, by means of transcendent knowledge fully and clearly awaken to   unsurpassed, true, complete enlightenment.    Therefore the mantra of transcendent knowledge, the mantra of deep   insight, the unsurpassed mantra, the unequalled mantra, the mantra which   calms all suffering, should be known as truth, for there is no   deception.  In transcendent knowledge   the mantra is proclaimed: </strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.surya.org/sounds/gate.ram" target="_top">GATÉ GATÉ PARAGATÉ   PARASAMGATÉ BODHI SVAHA</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>O Shariputra, this is how a   Bodhisattva-Mahasattva should learn profound transcendent knowledge.”</strong></p>
<p><strong>Then the Blessed One arose from that   Samadhi and praised the Bodhisattva-Mahasattva Avalokiteshvara, saying:  “Good, good, O son of noble family!  Profound transcendent knowledge should be   practiced just as you have taught, and the Tathagatas will rejoice.”</strong></p>
<p><strong>When the Blessed One had said this,   Shariputra and Avalokiteshvara, that whole gathering and the world with its   gods, men, asuras and gandharvas, their hearts full of joy, praised the words   of the Blessed One.</strong></td>

<p>The Heart Sutra</td>
<td width="701"><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Esto   es lo que he oído</strong>. Un día que el   Bendito se encontraba en Rajagriha, en el Pico de los Buitres, junto con una   gran reunión de la sangha de los monjes y una gran reunión de la sangha de   los bodhisattvas, se sentó a un lado y entró en el samadhi que designa al   dharma llamado &#8220;iluminación profunda&#8221;, al mismo tiempo el Noble   Avalokiteshvara, el bodhisattva de la compasión, que meditaba en la profunda   prajnaparamita, realizó que los cinco skandhas carecen de naturaleza. Entonces,   influido por el Buddha, el Venreble Shariputra le preguntó al Noble   Avalokiteshvara, &#8220;¿Cómo debería proceder un hijo o hija de noble familia   que desea ejercitar la profunda prajnaparamita?&#8221; Consultado de este   modo, el Noble Avalokiteshvara, el bodhisattva de la compasión, le dijo al   Venerable Shariputra, &#8220;O Shariputra, un hijo o hija de noble familia que   desee ejercitar la profunda prajnaparamita, debería comprender que los cinco   skandhas carecen de naturaleza.</p>
<p><strong> La forma es vacío, el vacío es forma</strong>. La forma no es diferente al vacío, el vacío no es   diferente a la forma. De igual modo, las sensaciones, las percepciones, los   impulsos y las emociones, y la conciencia también son vacío. Así, Shariputra,   todos los dharmas están caracterizados por el vacío; no aparecen ni   desaparecen, no son puros ni impuros, no aumentan ni disminuyen. Por lo   tanto, Shariputra, en el vacío no hay forma, ni sensaciones, ni percepciones,   ni impulsos, ni emociones, ni concienca; ni ojo, ni oído, ni nariz, ni   lengua, ni cuerpo, ni mente; ni color, ni sonido, ni olor, ni sabor, ni   tacto, ni dharmas; ni vista, y así hasta ni pensamiento; ni ignorancia, ni   fin de la ignorancia, y así hasta ni vejez ni muerte, ni fin de la vejez ni   fin de la muerte; ni sufrimiento, ni origen del sufrimiento, ni cesación del   sufrimiento, ni camino; ni conocimiento, ni logro, ni no logro. Por lo tanto,   Shariputra, puesto que los Bodhisattvas no tienen logro, viven de acuerdo a   la prajnaparamita. Como no hay obscurecimiento de la mente, no hay miedo.   Transcienden la ilusión y alcanzan el nirvana completo. Todos los Buddhas de   los tres tiempos, por medio de la prajnaparamita, despertaron totalmente a la   iluminación insuperable, verdadera y suprema. Por lo tanto, el gran mantra de   la prajnaparamita, el mantra de la gran comprensión, el mantra insuperado, el   mantra inigualado, el mantra que calma todo el sufrimiento, deberá ser   conocido como verdad, puesto que no hay engaño. El mantra de la   prajnaparamita dice así:<br />
<strong>OM GATE GATE PARAGATE PARASAMGATE   BODHI SVAHA</strong></p>
<p>(Vamos, vamos, vamos más allá, vamos a la   otra orilla, ¡Iluminación! ¡Gozo!) De este modo, Shariputra, el bodhisattva   de la compasión debería ejercitar la profunda prajnaparamita.&#8221; Entonces   el Bendito salió del samadhi y alabó al Noble Avalokiteshvara, el bodhisattva   de la compasión, diciendo, &#8220;¡Bien, bien!, O hijo de noble familia, así   es. Uno debería practicar la profunda prajnaparamita tal como has enseñado, y   al hacerlo todos los tathagathas se regocijarán.&#8221; Cuando el Bendito   habló así, el Venerable Shariputra y el Noble Avalokiteshvara, el bodhisattva   de la compasión, toda la asamblea, y el mundo entero con sus dioses, humanos,   asuras, y gandharvas se regocijaron, y todos ellos alabaron las palabras del   Bendito.<strong> </strong></td>
