guān zì zài pú sà
观 自 在 菩 萨
Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva,
háng shēn bān ruò bō luó mì duō shí
行 深 般 若 菠 萝 蜜 多 时
While practicing deeply the wisdom that has gone beyond,
zhào jiàn wǔ yùn jiē kōng
照 见 五 蕴 皆 空
Saw that the five skandhas are all empty,
dù yī qiē kǔ è
度 一 切 苦 厄
And transcends all suffering and distress.

Shariputra, form does not differ from emptiness,
kōng bú yì sè
空 不 异 色
Emptiness does not differ from form.
sè jí shì kōng ,kōng jí shì sè
色 即 是 空 ,空 即 是 色
Form is emptiness, emptiness is form.
shòu xiǎng háng shí ,yì fù rú shì 。
受 想 行 识 ,亦 复 如 是 。
Sensation, perception, volition, and consciousness, are also like this.
shě lì zǐ ,shì zhū fǎ kōng xiàng
舍 利 子 ,是 诸 法 空 相
Shariputra, all dharmas are empty in nature,
bú shēng bú miè ,bú gòu bú jìng ,bú zēng bú jiǎn
不 生 不 灭 ,不 垢 不 净 ,不 增 不 减
Not born, not destroyed, not defiled, not pure, not increasing, not decreasing.
