We are not a messiah or a prophet or god. Our life is fated. We are not looking for supernatural or magic power that not link to science and technology. When eating, eat properly. When sleeping, sleep properly. As a human being, behave as a human being. Many of us feel sad and worry when going to die. We must always practice meditation and die naturally without fear.
When reciting, our minds are free from other forms of false thinking and also the 3 mental poisons of greed, hatred and ignorance. As a result, we will have calmness and concentration which then gives rise to wisdom to discern clearly between good and evil.
In addition to the recitals, one should follow these rules, in order to purge our mind, speech and actions of impurities:-
(i) To abstain from killing
(ii) To abstain from stealing
(iii) To abstain from sexual misconduct
(iv) To abstain from false speech
(v) To abstain from intoxicants and alcoholic drinks
The Heart of Prajna Paramita Sutra
When Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva was practising the profound Prajna Paramita, he illuminated the five skandhas and saw that they are empty, and he crossed beyond suffering and difficulty.
Shariputra, form does not differ from emptiness; emptiness does not differ from form. Form itself is emptiness; emptiness itself is form. So, too, are feeling, cognition, formation and consiousness.
Shariputra, the dharmas are empty of characteristics. They are not produced, not destroyed, not defiled, not pure and they neither increase nor diminish.
Therefore, in emptiness there is no form, feeling, cognition, formation or consciousness, no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body or mind; no sights, sounds, smells, tastes, objects of touch or dharmas, no field of the eyes, up to and including no field of mind-consciousness; and no ignorance or ending of ignorance, up to and including no old age and death or ending of old age and death.
There in no suffering, no accumulating, no extinction, no way and no understanding and no attaining. Because nothing is attained, the Bodhisattva, through reliance on Prajna Paramita, is unimpeded in his mind. Because there is no impediment, he is not afraid, and he leaves distorted dreams and thoughts far behind. Ultimate Nirvana!
The Buddhas of the three periods of time attain Annutarasamyaksambodhi through reliance on Prajna Paramita. Therefore, know that Prajna Paramita is a great spiritual mantra, a great bright mantra, a supreme mantra, an unequalled mantra. It can remove sufferings; it is genuine and not false.That is why the mantra of Prajna Paramita was spoken. Recite it like this:
