《般若波罗蜜多心经》现代文简译

顶礼大佛母般若波罗蜜多!顶礼大智文殊师利菩萨摩诃萨!

观自在菩萨行深般若波罗蜜多时,
(观自在菩萨修行般若法门到极深处时)
照见五蕴皆空,度一切苦厄。
(洞悉到事物和合的五段都是空幻,依此思维修习,可以去除一切烦恼)
舍利子,色不异空,空不异色。
(舍利弗长老啊,物质的形相和空性并无差别,空性和物质形相也无不同)
色即是空,空即是色。
(形相就是空性,空性就是形相)
受想行识,亦复如是。
(另外的四段和合:觉受、思维、行动、认知,也是这样的)
舍利子,是诸法空相,
(舍利弗长老啊,所有这些显现都没有实性)
不生不灭,不垢不净,不增不减。
(非所生、也不会灭,不曾垢染、也无所清净,不会增加、也不会减少)
是故空中无色,无受想行识,
(所以,在空性之中,没有形相,也没有觉受、思维、行动、认知)
无眼耳鼻舌身意,无色声香味触法。
(没有眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意,没有形色、声音、气味、味道、触接、意显)
无眼界,乃至无意识界。
(没有眼界、耳界、……依此类推所有十八界……没有意识界)
无无明,亦无无明尽,
(没有“无明”,也谈不上“无明”的终了)
乃至无老死,亦无老死尽。
(没有“行”,也谈不上“行”的终了……依次类推所有十二因缘……没有“老死”,也谈不上“老死”的终了)
无苦集灭道。
(没有苦、苦的成因、苦的消灭、消灭苦的道法)
无智亦无得。
(没有悟道之智,也没有所得之法)
以无所得故,菩提萨埵,依般若波罗蜜多故,心无挂碍,
(因为了无所得,菩萨依照般若法门,心就没有可挂碍的)
无挂碍故,无有恐怖,
(没有可挂碍的,也就没有可恐惧的)
远离颠倒梦想,究竟涅槃。
(远离一切认假为真的执著幻想,到达最究竟的涅槃寂静)
三世诸佛,依般若波罗蜜多故,得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。
(过去、现在、未来的所有佛陀,依照般若法门,证得无上正等正觉)
故知般若波罗蜜多,是大神咒,是大明咒,是无上咒,是无等等咒。
(所以说,般若法门的真言咒语,威力巨大,明知遍照,终极殊胜,无与伦比)
能除一切苦,真实不虚。
(能够灭尽一切烦恼,真实不虚)
故说般若波罗蜜多咒,即说咒曰:
(于是,演说般若法门真言,道:)
揭谛揭谛,波罗揭谛,波罗僧揭谛,菩提萨婆诃。
(发音之汉语拼音:gadei gadei, bara gadei, bara sang gadei, budi suoha)
(走啊!走啊!走向彼岸!快走向殊胜的彼岸!菩提果位!)
(去啊!去啊!到彼岸去吧!走遍所有的道路到彼岸去吧!觉悟啦!)

后记:
此简译版本参考了慈诚罗珠堪布索达吉堪布等大德的《般若波罗蜜多心经》讲义,并对照了Edward Conze的英文译本,如果内容有所不妥,一定完全是我的失误。如果简译里的专有词汇对阅读造成困难的话,则另有一篇较详细的语文释义,可供参考。

顶礼金刚萨埵如来!
此福已得一切智,摧伏一切过患敌。
生老病死犹涌涛,愿度有海诸有情。

Om Homage to the Perfection of Wisdom the Lovely, the Holy!

Avalokita, the Holy Lord and Bodhisattva, was moving in the deep course of the Wisdom which has gone beyond.

He looked down from on high, He beheld but five heaps, and He saw that in their own-being they were empty.

Here, O Sariputra,

form is emptiness and the very emptiness is form;

emptiness does not differ from form, form does not differ from emptiness, whatever is emptiness, that is form,

the same is true of feelings, perceptions, impulses, and consciousness.

Here, O Sariputra,

all dharmas are marked with emptiness;

they are not produced or stopped, not defiled or immaculate, not deficient or complete.

Therefore, O Sariputra,

in emptiness there is no form nor feeling, nor perception, nor impulse, nor consciousness;

No eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind; No forms, sounds, smells, tastes, touchables or objects of mind; No sight-organ element, and so forth, until we come to:

No mind-consciousness element; There is no ignorance, no extinction of ignorance, and so forth, until we come to: There is no decay and death, no extinction of decay and death. There is no suffering, no origination, no stopping, no path.

There is no cognition, no attainment and no non-attainment.

Therefore, O Sariputra,

it is because of his non-attainmentness that a Bodhisattva, through having relied on the Perfection of Wisdom, dwells without thought-coverings. In the absence of thought-coverings he has not been made to tremble,

he has overcome what can upset, and in the end he attains to Nirvana.

All those who appear as Buddhas in the three periods of time fully awake to the utmost, right and perfect Enlightenment because they have relied on the Perfection of Wisdom.

Therefore one should know the prajnaparamita as the great spell, the spell of great knowledge, the utmost spell, the unequalled spell, allayer of all suffering, in truth — for what could go wrong? By the prajnaparamita has this spell been delivered. It runs like this:

gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha.

( Gone, gone, gone beyond, gone altogether beyond, O what an awakening, all-hail ! — )

This completes the Heart of perfect Wisdom.
