摩訶般若波羅蜜多心経―大いなる心の手放し方
The Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore
(Thich Nhat Hanh英訳　https://plumvillage.org/news/thich-nh...)

観自在菩薩・行深般若波羅蜜多時、照見五蘊皆空、度一切苦厄。
―観自在という菩薩が、完全な思いの手放し（般若波羅蜜多）を実践していた時、はっきりと見てとった：五蘊（色・受・想・行・識）がすべて空であることを。そうして彼は一切の悩み苦しみから自由になった。
Avalokiteshvara, while practicing deeply with the Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore, suddenly discovered that all of the five Skandhas are equally empty, and with this realisation he overcame all Ill-being.
