The Perfection of Wisdom
(From the Perfection of Wisdom Sutra in 8000 lines, translated from the Tibetan, beginning line 118A.)
Whatever is unborn is undying,
and is totally free from affliction.
It is free from occurrence
and neither decreases nor increases;
it is neither past
nor future,
nor what arises at present. In it, there is no form,
no feeling,
no perception,
no formations,
no consciousess;
in it there is no eye,
no ear
no nose,
no tongue,
no body,
no mind.
In it, there is no form,
no sound,
no smell,
no taste,
no texture,
no dharmas.
In it, there is no eye element,
no [visible] form element,
no eye-consciousness element.
In it, there is no ear element,
no sound element,
no ear-consciousness element.
In it there is no nose element,
no smell element,
no nose-consciousness element.
In it there is no tongue element,
no flavour element,
no tongue-consciousness element.
In it there is no body element,
no texture element,
no body-consciousness element.
In it there is no mind element,
no dharma element,
no mental consciousness element.
In it there is no earth element,
no water element,
no fire element,
no wind element,
no space element,
no consciousness element.
