"The Rhyme of Gala" (Heart Sutra)#
The Heart Sutra of Prajna Paramita
Behold, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, when practicing deeply the Prajna Paramita, clearly saw that all five aggregates are empty and thus relieved all suffering. Shariputra, form does not differ from emptiness, emptiness does not differ from form. Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Sensations, perceptions, formations, and consciousness are also like this. Shariputra, all dharmas are marked with emptiness; they do not appear or disappear, are not tainted or pure, do not increase or decrease. Therefore, in emptiness, there is no form, no sensation, perception, formation, or consciousness; no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, or mind; no form, sound, smell, taste, touch, or object of mind; no realms of sight and so forth until no realms of mind consciousness; no ignorance and also no extinction of it, and so forth until no old age and death and also no extinction of them. No suffering, no origination, no stopping, no path, no cognition, also no attainment with nothing to attain. The Bodhisattva depends on Prajna Paramita and the mind is no hindrance; without any hindrance, no fears exist. Far apart from every perverted view, one dwells in Nirvana. In the three worlds, all Buddhas depend on Prajna Paramita and attain Anuttara Samyak Sambodhi. Therefore, know that Prajna Paramita is the great transcendent mantra, is the great bright mantra, is the utmost mantra, is the supreme mantra, which is able to relieve all suffering and is true, not false. So proclaim the Prajna Paramita mantra, proclaim the mantra that says: Gate Gate Paragate Parasamgate Bodhi Svaha.
"Mo Du Xu Shi Guang"#
My wishes have long flown, the country is prosperous and flourishing, just as it should be. Time is fleeting, and in my youth, I vow to prevent time from slipping away. In the past, I diligently focused on my studies, waving my brush and entering the hall, striving to learn and sweating in my clothes. Remembering the past, studying in the cold room, what I gained was always fragrant. Do not miss the good times and let them pass by. The value lies in diligent learning, cultivating virtue, and not hoarding talents for personal gain. You should know the vastness of the world, and align your state of mind with it. Master various knowledge and skills, and do not let the desire for profit cloud your judgment. Good principles should be remembered, and treat others with equality. Stay pure and virtuous. Laugh at the impermanence of life, the illusions and realities. The silent poem asks, do you know the essence of silence? How much of it do you know?
"Passing Through Kui Gate"#
The wind flips white waves as it passes through Kui Gate,
The sound of the mountain roars like thunder.
The wanderer startles heaven and earth twice,
A single leaf boat asks about the universe.

"Passing Through Pingqiang"
The flute sound accompanies me through Pingqiang,
The boat is surrounded by crows and the hall is full of lights.
Spring breeze warms and welcomes guests,
The mist colors the twilight mountains.

"You Know the Silence"#
There is a wordless poem that touches the heart of ignorance, asking what the meaning of the poem is, I say it is the convergence of inspiration. No words, no language, who knows who I am, only the wordless poem. Oh sky, oh sky, why are you silent and composed, looking back and asking the heart of ignorance, where is the heart? Look at the green mountains, ask the sound of the sea, have you ever known the sound of silence? Where do I come from and where am I going? My future world, where do I live? The past is gone, the future is not yet born, what does this mean? The wordless poem can tell me, just as a person knows the warmth when drinking water, although I have no words, I can dispel doubts. Please tell me, how should I be a person with the wordless poem? I must have a touch of intuitive wisdom, a sense of impermanence, establish morality and character, leave behind a selfless state of mind, treat others with equality, and be pure and untainted. Laugh at the impermanence of life, the dreams and realities. The wordless poem silently asks, do you know the essence of silence? How much of it do you know?
"Returning Light"#
When someone criticizes and slanders you, it is definitely their own fault. There must be a contradiction between reason, law, and morality. At least, your words and actions have not gained the recognition and admiration of the other person, so you must engage in self-criticism.
"Spring Wind Ends"#
Gaze, gaze, listen, listen, think, think, analyze, analyze, the spring wind of the country ends, chasing the west wind, where does it go? Want to travel to the south, this crossing of the beach has been left behind, looking up to the north, the wind is beautiful, the ancient country is charming, the golden horse gallops, shining in the universe, the beautiful ethics are floating, gathering the smallness of the sea, all nations sigh, reading the elegance of China is pleasing, the emotions of the people are joyful, and there are many outstanding figures who have joined. The happiness of the heart is universal, how can the hidden emotions be revealed, it is not silk and bamboo soul that is lost, often changing but still diving into the southern fortress, the wise heart is firm, pure and worthy, inferior fruits are not fragrant peaches, there is a divine sun and moonlight shining brightly, turning into rosy clouds, Spring Wind Ends.
"Pride and Humility"#
Pride is like a moldy and rotten seed that does not sprout or grow, while humility is like fertile soil that nurtures strong seedlings. Why is this so? Pride leads to arrogance, and others may not be willing to help. Humility is well received, so people are willing to approach and assist.
"Far from Full of Sorrow"#
Self-satisfaction and self-pity are the great enemies of success. When one is satisfied, they may not be willing to lower themselves to seek knowledge, thus becoming an obstacle to progress. When one is full of sorrow, they may not have the motivation to strive for success, resulting in a sense of resignation.
