Lyrics
Avalokiteลvara
While practicing deeply with
The Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore
Suddenly discovered that
All of the five Skandhas are equally empty
And with this realisation
He overcame all Ill-being
Listen ลฤriputra
This Body itself is Emptiness
And Emptiness itself is this Body
This Body is not other than Emptiness
And Emptiness is not other than this Body
The same is true of Feelings
Perceptions, Mental Formations
And Consciousness
Listen ลฤriputra
All phenomena bear the mark of Emptiness
Their true nature is the nature of
No Birth no Death
No Being no Non-being
No Defilement no Purity
No Increasing no Decreasing
That is why in Emptiness
Body, Feelings, Perceptions
Mental Formations and Consciousness
Are not separate self-entities
The Eighteen Realms of Phenomena
Which are the six Sense Organs
The six Sense Objects
And the six Consciousnesses
Are also not separate self-entities
The Twelve Links of Interdependent Arising
And their Extinction
Are also not separate self-entities
Ill-being, the Causes of Ill-being
The End of Ill-being, the Path
Insight and attainment
Are also not separate self-entities
Whoever can see this
No longer needs anything to attain
Bodhisattvas who practice
The Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore
See no more obstacles in their mind
And because there
Are no more obstacles in their mind
They can overcome all fear
Destroy all wrong perceptions
And realize Perfect Nirvana
All Buddhas in the past, present and future
By practicing
The Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore
Are all capable of attaining
Authentic and Perfect Enlightenment
"Therefore ลฤriputra
It should be known that
The Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore
Is a Great Mantra
The most illuminating mantra
The highest mantra
A mantra beyond compare
The True Wisdom that has the power
To put an end to all kinds of suffering
"Therefore let us proclaim a mantra to praise
The Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore
Gate, gate, pฤragate, pฤrasaแนgate, bodhi svฤhฤ
Gate, gate, pฤragate, pฤrasaแนgate, bodhi svฤhฤ
Gate, gate, pฤragate, pฤrasaแนgate, bodhi svฤhฤ!"
