… Form does not differ from emptiness:
Emptiness does not differ from form.
That which is form is emptiness:
That which is emptiness, form…
… all dharmas are marked with emptiness:
They do not appear nor disappear,
Are not tainted nor pure,
Do not increase nor decrease.
Therefore, in emptiness, no form
No feelings, perceptions, impulses, consciousness;
No eyes, no ears, no nose, no tongue, no body, no mind;
No color, no sound, no smell, no taste, no touch, no object of mind;
No realm of eyes and… no realm of mind-consciousness;
No ignorance and also no extinction of it.
No old age and death
And also no extinction of them.
No suffering, no origination, no stopping, no path,
No cognition and also no attainment
With nothing to attain…
Gare—gare—paragate—parasamgate! Bodhi!
