(Translation:)

When Avalokitesvara (Kannon, the compassionate) had perfected deep wisdom (Hannya haramitta), he/she perceived that the five aggregates, (the perception of all external things) are empty, and thereupon turned to relieve all of the world's suffering. O my beloved Sariputra, do you not see that form is not different from emptiness, and emptiness is not different from from? Form is identical to emptiness, and emptiness is identical to form. Sensation, perception, impulses, and consciousness are also empty, like form.

O Sariputra, truths are marked with emptiness. They are not produced, not stopped, not tainted, not pure, they do not increase or decrease. Therefore in emptiness there is no form (transcendent form), no sensation, no perception, no impulse, and no consciousness. No eye, no ear, no nose, no tongue, no body, no mind; no forms, no sounds, no smells, no tastes, no tangibles, no objects of mind. There is no realm of seeing until we come to the realm of no mind consciousness; there is no fundamental ignorance, and no extinction of ignorance, until we come to no old age and no death. There is no suffering, no cause of suffering, no cessation of suffering, no path. There is no cognition and no attainment, because there is nothing transcendence) to be attained. It is because the Bodhisattva relies on perfecting this Wisdom that there is no obstacle in his/her mind. Because there is no obstacle, there is no fear. He/she is beyond all upsetting dreams, and so attains enlightenment. Past, present, and future Buddhas all rely on perfecting this Wisdom, and therefore attain Supreme, Correct, and Perfect Enlightenment.

Therefore one should know that perfecting Wisdom is a great, holy incantation, a great untainted incantation, the Supreme, Incomparable Incantation, which completely disposes all suffering. This is true, not false, and therefore let us expound the incantation which perfects Wisdom, the incantation which says:
O Bodhi! Gone, gone, gone to the other shore. Svaha!
This completes the Heart Sutra, the perfection of Wisdom.
