O Sutra do Coração - Comunidade Budista Triratna (Trans. Pelo google 11.04.24)

 

O Sutra do Coração

Conforme recitado na Comunidade Budista Triratna

(Trans. Pelo google 11.04.24)

O Bodhisattva da Compaixão,

Quando ele meditou profundamente,

Vi o vazio de todos os cinco skandhas

E rompeu os laços que lhe causavam sofrimento.

Aqui então,

A forma não é outra senão o vazio,

O vazio não é outro senão a forma.

A forma é apenas o vazio,

Forma apenas vazia.

Sentimento, pensamento e escolha,

A própria consciência,

São iguais a este.

Todas as coisas são por natureza vazias

Eles não nascem ou são destruídos

Nem são manchados ou puros

Nem eles aumentam ou diminuem

Então, no vazio, sem forma,

Nenhum sentimento, pensamento ou escolha,

Nem há consciência.

Sem olhos, ouvidos, nariz, língua, corpo, mente;

Sem cor, som, cheiro, sabor, toque,

Ou o que a mente se apodera,

Nem mesmo ato de sentir.

Sem ignorância ou fim disso,

Nem tudo o que vem da ignorância;

Sem murchamento, sem morte,

Não há fim para eles.

Nem há dor, ou causa da dor,

Ou cessar na dor, ou caminho nobre

Para livrar-se da dor;

Nem mesmo sabedoria para alcançar!

A realização também é o vazio.

Então saiba que o Bodhisattva

Não me apegando a nada,

Mas permanecendo na sabedoria Prajna,

Está livre de obstáculos ilusórios,

Livre do medo criado por ele,

E alcança o Nirvana mais claro.

Todos os Budas do passado e do presente,

Budas do tempo futuro,

Usando esta sabedoria Prajna,

Venha para uma visão plena e perfeita.

Ouça então o grande dharani,

O mantra radiante e inigualável,

O Prajnaparamita

Cujas palavras aliviam toda dor;

Ouça e acredite em sua verdade!

Via Dhamma Wheel | Right Action: Reflecting upon Social Action

RIGHT ACTION Reflecting Upon Social Action However the seed is planted, in that way the fruit is gathered. Good things come from doing good deeds, bad things come from doing bad deeds. (SN 11.10) What is the purpose of a mirror? For the purpose of reflection. So too social action is to be done with repeated reflection. (MN 61) One reflects thus: “Others may speak in unhealthy ways; I shall refrain from speaking in unhealthy ways.” (MN 8) One lives with companions in concord, with mutual appreciation, without disputing, blending like milk and water, viewing each other with kindly eyes. One practices thus: “I maintain verbal acts of lovingkindness toward my companions both openly and privately.” (MN 31)

Reflection How we speak to one another has a big impact on how well we get along with one another. We evoke from others the same emotions we express to them. If you say something with annoyance, you will provoke annoyance. If you say something kind, you will bring out the kindness of others. This is how human interactions work: however the seed is planted, the fruit is gathered.  Daily Practice One important way of practicing in daily life is bringing as much lovingkindness as possible to everything you do, especially in the realm of verbal action. Make a point today of speaking kindly to the people you interact with. You’ll find it comes easily if you can manage to view the other person “with kindly eyes.” Find something good in other people to focus upon and allow your speech to flow from the emotion of friendliness.

Sutra do Coração da Grande Sabedoria Completa

Quando Kanzeon Bodisatva praticava em profunda Sabedoria
Completa claramente observou
O vazio dos cinco agregados
Assim se libertando de todas as tristezas e sofrimentos.
Oh! Sharishi !
Forma não é mais que vazio.
Vazio não é mais que forma.
Forma é exatamente vazio.
Vazio é exatamente forma.
Sensação, conceituação, diferenciação,
conhecimento assim também o são.
Óh ! Sharishi !
Todos os fenômenos são vazio-forma,
Não nascidos, não mortos,
Não puros, não impuros,
Não perdidos, não encontrados
Assim é tudo dentro do vazio.
Sem forma, sem sensação,
Conceituação, diferenciação, conhecimento;
Sem olhos, ouvidos, nariz, língua, corpo, mente,
Sem cor, som, cheiro, sabor, tato, fenômeno.
Sem mundo de visão, sem mundo de consciência,
Sem ignorância e sem fim à ignorância,
Sem velhice e morte e sem fim à velhice e morte,
Sem sofrimento, sem causa, sem extinção e sem caminho,
Sem sabedoria e sem ganho, sem nenhum ganho.
Bodisatva devido à Sabedoria Completa.
Coração-Mente sem obstáculos,
Sem obstáculos , logo, sem medo,
Distante de todas as delusões,
Isto é nirvana.
Todos os budas dos três mundos
devido à sabedoria completa
Obtém ANOKUTARA SAN MYAKU SAN BODAI.
Saiba que Sabedoria Completa
É expressão de grande divindade,
Expressão de grande claridade,
Expressão insuperável,
Expressão inigualável,
Com capacidade de remover
Todo o sofrimento.
Isto é verdade não é mentira!
Assim, invoque e expresse a Sabedoria Completa,
Invoque e repita:

GYA-TE GYA-TE

HA-RA GYA- TEI

HARA SO GYA-TE

Via Dhamma Wheel | Right View: Understanding the Noble Truth of the Way to the Cessation of Suffering

TRICYCLE      COURSE CATALOG      SUPPORT      DONATE

RIGHT VIEW Understanding the Noble Truth of the Way to the Cessation of Suffering And what is the way leading to the cessation of suffering? It is just this noble eightfold path: that is, right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right living, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration. (MN 9) One perfects their ethical behavior by abandoning the taking of what is not given … (DN 2)

Reflection A lot of human activity revolves around giving and taking, and the early Buddhist teachings are very sensitive to both. We are encouraged to give as generously as possible, as this loosens attachments and cultivates goodwill toward others. Great care is called for around the matter of taking, and the precept about taking what is not given is far stricter than a simple injunction against stealing. Daily Practice Being very scrupulous about things that do not belong to us is a practice in itself. It requires us to be more aware of our relationship to things and more attentive to the social cues given by others. Notice how it feels when somebody touches something you regard as not belonging to you (say a stick on the ground) and when they touch something you cherish (such as your phone). See how ownership triggers suffering?
