The heart of great prajna paramita sutra
When Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara was practicing the profound prajna paramita. He illuminated the five skandhas and saw that they are all empty, and he crossed beyond all suffering and difficulty. Shariputra, form does not differ from emptiness; emptiness does not differ from form. Form itself is emptiness; Emptiness itself is form. So too are feeling, cognition, formation, and consciousness.
Shariputra, all Dharmas are empty of characteristics. They are not produced, not destroyed, not defiled, not pure, and they neither increase nor diminish. Therefore, in emptiness there is no form, feeling, cognition, formation, or consciousness; No eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, or mind; No sighs, sounds, smells, tastes, objects of touch, or Dharmas; No field of the eyes up to and including no field of mind consciousness; And no ignorance or ending of ignorance, up to and including no old age and death or ending of old age and death. They is no suffering, no accumulating, no extinction, and no way, and no understanding and no attaining. Becourse nothing is attained, the Bodhisattva through reliance on prajna paramita is unimpeded in his mind. Becourse there is impeded, he is not afraid and he leaves distorted dream-thinking far behind. Ultimately nirvana!
All Buddhas of the three periods of time attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi through reliance on prajna paramita. Therefore know that prajna paramita is a great mantra, a great bright mantra, a supreme mantra, an unequalled mantra. It can remove all suffering; it is genuine and not false. That is why the prajna paramita was spoken. Recite it like this: GATE GATE PARAGATE BODHI SVAHA!
I believe the cause of the three rebirth of what u give & that will be catched, good deed will be good catched, if u can give & u must be catched.
靈隱晦大師說:康熙八年六月,蘇州城過街橋趙德甫豆腐店,有兩隻豬,要賣二兩五錢銀子。十五日夜,豬忽說話,說我們因前世犯了邪婬,今生投豬,快要捱殺了。趙德甫夫妻當作街上走路人說話,仔細一聽,這聲音乃在豬圈裏,很驚奇。十六夜,又聽得一豬說:今天是中元節,地官赦罪,玄妙觀作黃籙大醮,我們要能免了殺,一同到西園去修行。一豬說:我願意到玄墓去。趙德甫夫妻聽了,更加害怕。這事傳出,鄰居汪俊思,出了一兩六錢銀子,買了放生。許孝酌親見此事。
