EVERYONE =<\/p>\n

A\/vo\/lo\/ki\/tes\/va\/ra\/ Bo\/dhi\/satt\/va\/, A\/wa\/kened\/ One\/ of\/ Com\/pas\/sion\/,<\/p>\n

In\/ Praj\/na\/ Pa\/ra\/mi\/ta\/, the\/Deep\/ Prac\/tice\/ of\/ Per\/fect\/ Wis\/dom\/*<\/p>\n

Per\/ceived\/ the\/ emp\/ti\/ness\/ of \/all \/five \/con\/di\/tions\/,<\/p>\n

And\/ was\/ free\/ of\/ suf\/fer\/ing\/.<\/p>\n

O\/ Sha\/ri\/pu\/tra\/, form\/ is\/ no\/ o\/ther\/ than\/ emp\/ti\/ness\/,<\/p>\n

Emp\/ti\/ness\/ no\/ o\/ther\/ than\/ form\/;<\/p>\n

Form\/ is\/ pre\/cise\/ly\/ emp\/ti\/ness\/, emp\/ti\/ness\/ pre\/cise\/ly\/ form\/.<\/p>\n

Sen\/sa\/tions\/, per\/cep\/tions\/, for\/ma\/tions\/ and\/ con\/scious\/ness\/ are\/ al\/so\/ like\/ this\/.<\/p>\n

O\/ Sha\/ri\/pu\/tra\/, all\/ things\/ are\/ ex\/pres\/sions\/ of\/ emp\/ti\/ness\/,<\/p>\n

Not\/ born\/, not\/ des\/troyed\/, not\/ stained\/, not\/ pure\/;<\/p>\n

Nei\/ther\/ wax\/ing\/ nor\/ wan\/ing\/.<\/p>\n

Thus\/ emp\/ti\/ness\/ is\/ not\/ form\/; not\/ sen\/sa\/tion\/ nor\/ per\/cep\/tion\/,<\/p>\n

not\/ for\/ma\/tion\/ nor\/ con\/scious\/ness\/.<\/p>\n

No\/ eye\/, ear\/, nose\/, tongue\/, bo\/dy\/, mind\/;<\/p>\n

No\/ sight\/, sound\/, smell\/, taste\/, touch\/, nor\/ ob\/ject\/ of\/ mind\/;<\/p>\n

No\/ realm\/ of\/ sight\/, no\/ realm\/ of\/ con\/scious\/ness\/;<\/p>\n

No\/ ig\/no\/rance\/, no\/ end\/ to\/ ig\/no\/rance\/;<\/p>\n

No\/ old\/ age\/ and\/ death\/,<\/p>\n

No\/ ces\/sa\/tion\/ of\/ old\/ age\/ and\/ death\/;<\/p>\n

No\/ suf\/fer\/ing\/, nor\/ cause\/ or\/ end\/ to\/ suf\/fer\/ing\/;<\/p>\n

No\/ path\/, no\/ wis\/dom\/ and\/ no\/ gain\/.<\/p>\n

No\/ gain\/ – thus\/ Bod\/dhi\/satt\/vas\/ live\/ this\/ Praj\/na\/ Pa\/ra\/mi\/ta\/*<\/p>\n

With\/ no\/ hin\/drance\/ of\/ mind\/ –<\/p>\n

No\/ hin\/drance\/ there\/fore\/ no\/ fear\/.<\/p>\n

Far\/ be\/yond\/ all\/ de\/lu\/sion\/, Nir\/va\/na\/ is\/ al\/rea\/dy\/ here\/.<\/p>\n

All\/ past\/, pre\/sent\/ and\/ fu\/ture\/ Budd\/has\/<\/p>\n

Live\/ this\/ Praj\/na\/ Pa\/ra\/mi\/ta\/*<\/p>\n

And\/ re\/al\/ize\/ su\/preme\/ and\/ com\/plete\/ en\/light\/en\/ment\/.<\/p>\n

There\/fore\/ know\/ that\/ Praj\/na\/ Pa\/ra\/mi\/ta\/<\/p>\n

Is\/ the\/ sac\/red\/ man\/tra\/, the\/ lu\/min\/ous\/ man\/tra\/,<\/p>\n

the\/ sup\/reme\/ man\/tra\/, the\/ in\/com\/pa\/ra\/ble\/ man\/tra\/<\/p>\n

by\/ which\/ all\/ suf\/fe\/ring\/ is\/ clear\/.<\/p>\n

This\/ is\/ no\/ o\/ther\/ than\/ Truth\/.<\/p>\n

There\/fore\/ set\/ forth\/ the\/ Praj\/na\/ Pa\/ra\/mi\/ta\/ man\/tra\/.<\/p>\n

Set\/ forth\/ this\/ man\/tra\/ and\/ pro\/claim\/:*<\/p>\n

All harmful acts, words and thoughts, ever committed by me since of old,<\/font><\/o:p><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n
