Image of the Heart Sutra in Chinese
The Great Perfection of Wisdom Heart Sutra
Always Watching Bodhisattva (Avalokitesvara), while practicing deep Perfection of Wisdom

Perceived all five skandhas are empty and passed beyond the trails of suffering.
Sariputra, form is no different from emptiness,
Emptiness is no different from form.
That which is form is emptiness
That which is emptiness is form.
Feelings, perceptions, impulses, consciousness, the same is true of these
Sariputra, all dharmas are marked with emptiness
Neither arise nor cease to be,
not tainted nor pure
do not increase nor decrease
Therefore in emptiness no form,
no feelings, perceptions, impulses, consciousness
no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind
no color, sound, smell, taste,  touch, object of mind
no realm of eyes and so forth until no realm of mind consciousness
no ignorance and also no extinction of ignorance
and so forth until no old age and death and no extinction of old age and death
no suffering, origination, stopping, path
no cognition also no attainment
with nothing to attain
the Bodhisattva depends upon Perfection of Wisdom
and mind is no hindrance
without any hindrance no fear exists
far apart from every inverted view
dwells in Nirvana
All Buddhas in the Three Worlds
depend on Perfection of Wisdom
and attain complete unsurpassed enlightenment
Therefore know the Perfection of Wisdom
is the great transcendent mantra
is the great bright mantra
is the utmost mantra
is the supreme mantra
which is able to relieve all suffering and is true, not false
so proclaim the Perfection of Wisdom mantra
proclaim the mantra that says:
gone, gone, gone beyond
gone all the way beyond, Bodhi hurrah!
