Prajñā Pāramitā Mandala MTV
My friend Colan emailed me a hyperlink that leads to pictures of two Buddhist monks creating a stunning mandala. i happened to have a copy of the Prajñā Pāramitā Hrdaya Sūtram (the "Heart Sutra," 心經) chanted by Wong Faye—one of Asia's favourite divas. So i spent a rainy weekend throwing them together.

BTW, most of the folks who emailed to tell david they loved the piece were, not so surprisingly, neither Chinese nor Buddhist.

時觀自在菩薩摩訶薩 告尊者舍利子言 汝今諦聽為汝宣說
若善男子善女人 樂欲修學此甚深般若波羅蜜多法門者 當觀五蘊自性皆空 何名五蘊自性空耶 所謂 即色是空 即空是色 色無異於空 空無異於色 受想行識亦復如是
舍利子 此一切法如是空相 無所生 無所滅 無垢染 無清淨 無增長 無損減 舍利子 是故空中無色 無受想行識 無眼耳鼻舌身意 無色聲香味觸法 無眼界 無眼識界 乃至無意界 無意識界 無無明 無無明盡 乃至無老死 亦無老死盡 無苦集滅道 無智 無所得 亦無無得

看了video, 看到最後的四句, 被震動了!
謝謝!
你集合的 MTV 可以讓我轉寄給朋友嗎? 上次收到的並沒有英文說明哩
先謝過 阿彌陀佛
這類的東西造出來…唔…弘法是不敢當，但與大家結個善緣也是美事。Link 多多「益善」，請隨便。
我也擅自連結了，謝謝。
這篇心經比平常人們唸那個譯本交待比較多來龍去脈... 那句咒前面為何多了個 "tadyatā" 呢?
c:
"tadyatā" 是梵文“如是”— 意謂「即說咒曰」。
Thus did I hear at one time. The Bhagavan was dwelling on Mass of Vultures Mountain in Rajagriha together with a great community of monks and a great community of bodhisattvas. At that time, the Bhagavan was absorbed in the concentration on
the categories of phenomena called "Profound Perception."
Also, at that time, the bodhisattva mahasattva arya Avalokiteshvara looked upon the very practice of the profound perfection of wisdom and beheld those five aggregates also as empty of inherent nature. Then, through the power of Buddha, the venerable Shariputra said this to the bodhisattva mahasattva arya Avalokiteshvara:
"How should any son of the lineage train who wishes to practice the activity of the profound perfection of wisdom?"
He said that and the bodhisattva mahasattva arya Avalokiteshvara said this to the venerable Sharadvatiputra.
"Shariputra, any son of the lineage or daughter of the lineage who wishes to practice the activity of the profound perfection of wisdom should look upon it like this, correctly and repeatedly beholding those five aggregates also as empty of inherent nature."
"Form is empty. Emptiness is form. Emptiness is not other than form;
form is also not other than emptiness. In the same way, feeling, discrimination, compositional factors,and consciousness are empty."
"Shariputra, likewise, all phenomena are emptiness; without characteristic; unproduced, unceased; stainless, not without stain; not deficient, not fulfilled. "Shariputra, therefore, in emptiness there is no form, no feeling, no discrimination, no compositional factors, no consciousness;no eye, no ear, no nose, no tongue, no body, no mind; no visual form, no sound, no odor, no taste, no object of touch, and no phenomenon.There is no eye element and so on up to and including no mind element and no mental consciousness element. There is no ignorance, no extinction of ignorance, and so on up to and including no aging and death and no extinction of aging and death.
Similarly, there is no suffering, origination, cessation, and path; there is no exalted wisdom, no attainment, and also no nonattainment."
"Shariputra, therefore, because there is no attainment, bodhisattvas rely on and dwell in the perfection of wisdom, the mind without obscuration and without fear. Having completely passed beyond error, they reach the end-point of nirvana. All the buddhas who dwell in the three times also manifestly, completely awaken to unsurpassable, perfect, complete enlightenment in reliance on the perfection of wisdom."
"Therefore, the mantra of the perfection of wisdom, the mantra of great knowledge, the unsurpassed mantra, the mantra equal to the unequaled, the mantra that thoroughly pacifies all suffering, should be known as truth since it is not false.
The mantra of the perfection of wisdom is declared:"
"TADYATHA [OM] GATE GATE PARAGATE PARASAMGATE BODHI SVAHA"
"Shariputra, the bodhisattva mahasattva should train in the profound perfection of wisdom like that."
Then the Bhagavan arose from that concentration and commended the bodhisattva mahasattva arya Avalokiteshvara saying:
"Well said, well said, son of the lineage, it is like that. It is like that; one should practice the profound perfection of wisdom just as you have indicated; even the tathagatas rejoice."
The Bhagavan having thus spoken, the venerable Sharadvatiputra,the bodhisattva mahasattva arya Avalokiteshvara,those surrounding in their entirety along with the world of gods, humans, asuras,and gandharvas were overjoyed and highly praised that spoken by the Bhagavan.
看到最後他們把粉全掃起來
心裏有很大震撼
能放能收才是最高智慧.
