Heart Sutra English

The teachings of the Heart Sutra are deep and subtle, and I do not pretend to completely understand them myself.  U need to memorise first and for years after years slowly u will find it meaningful.
In the class i will summarise heart sutra with a sentence only follow by sharing how u can copy heart sutra method. I will explain much because I am too not have the capability to explain, i will share with you what i know and learn and from there on plant the seed for u to grow ok:>

Rejoice

above is heart sutra in English. U can memorise.

However the Chinese has the oldest translation since long before Tang Dynasty. As a chinese we can try to memorise the chinese version.

观自在菩萨,行深般若波罗蜜多时,照见五蕴皆空,度一切苦厄。
舍利子,色不异空,空不异色,色即是空,空即是色,受想行识亦复如是。
舍利子,是诸法空相,不生不灭,不垢不净,不增不减。是故空中,无色,无受想行识,无眼耳鼻舌身意,无色声香味触法,无眼界乃至无意识界,无无明亦无无明尽,乃至无老死,亦无老死尽,无苦集灭道,无智亦无得。
以无所得故,菩提萨埵依般若波罗蜜多故,心无挂碍;无挂碍故,无有恐怖,远离颠倒梦想,究竟涅槃。
三世诸佛依般若波罗蜜多故,得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。
故知般若波罗蜜多,是大神咒,是大明咒,是无上咒,是无等等咒,能除一切苦,真实不虚。
故说般若波罗蜜多咒,即说咒曰:揭谛揭谛,波罗揭谛,波罗僧揭谛,菩提萨婆诃。
