Know then: Form here is only emptiness, emptiness only form. Form is no other than emptiness, emptiness not other than form. Feeling, thought, and choice, Consciousness itself, are the same as this. Dharmas here are empty, All are the primal void. None are born or die. Nor are they stained or pure, Nor do they wax or wane. So in emptiness no form, no feeling, thought or choice nor is there consciousness. No eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind; no color, sound, smell, taste, touch, or what the mind takes hold of, nor even act of sensing. No ignorance or end of it Nor all that comes of ignorance: No withering, no death, No end of them. Nor is there pain or cause of pain Or cease of pain of noble path To lead from pain, Not even wisdom of attain, attainment too is emptiness. So know that the bodhisattva Holding to nothing whatever But dwelling in prajna wisdom Is freed of delusive hindrance, Rid of the fear bred by it, And reaches clearest nirvana. All buddhas of past and present, buddhas of future time Through faith in prajna wisdom Come to full enlightenment. Know, then, the great dharani the radiant, peerless mantra, the supreme, unfailing mantra, the Prajna Paramita, whose words allay all pain. This is the highest wisdom True beyond all doubt, Know and proclaim its truth: Gate, gate (Gone, gone) para gate (completely gone) para sam gate (utterly and completely gone) bodhi, svaha! (Behold the Light!) Heart of perfect wisdom. From p. 180-181 of Zen Dawn in the West by Roshi Philip Kapleau Anchor Press, Garden City, 1980 In what dimension would we put this Sutra: It depends on the form and the use: As a sutra: Doctrinal/Philosophical As a chant: Practical/Ritual Taking Refuge: (http://buddhism.about.com/od/takingrefuge/a/takingrefuge.htm) The formal ceremony of Ti Samana Gamana (Pali), or "taking the three refuges," is performed in nearly all schools of Buddhism. However, anyone who sincerely wants to follow the Buddha's path may begin that commitment by reciting these lines: “I take refuge in the Buddha. I take refuge in the Dharma. I take refuge in the Sangha.” Experiential Satori Nirvana Narrative Life of the Buddha The Jakata Tales The Ten Oxherding Pictures From The Manual of Zen Buddhism, D.T.

Right Contemplation Anatta No permanent soul The Sanskrit word skandha means "heap" or "aggregate." The Buddha taught that an individual is a combination of five aggregates of existence, called the Five Skandhas. These are: Form Sensation Perception Mental formations Consciousness Definitions from: http://buddhism.about.com/od/abuddhistglossary/g/skandhadef.htm Karma #1. Karma is the force created by a person's actions that is believed in Hinduism and Buddhism to determine what that person's next life will be like. #2. Karma is the force created by a person's actions that some people believe causes good or bad things to happen to that person. Definitions from: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/karma Nirvana In Buddhism Nirvana is a transcendent state in which there is neither suffering, desire, nor sense of self, and the subject is released from the effects of karma and the cycle of death and rebirth. It represents the final goal of Buddhism.
