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

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

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