[Music] Here, O Sai Putra, form is emptiness and the very emptiness is form. Emptiness does not differ from form. Form does not differ from emptiness. Whatever is form, that is emptiness. Whatever is emptiness, that is form. The same is true of feelings, perceptions, impulses and consciousness. Here, O Sai Putra, all Dharma's are marked with emptiness. They are not produced or stopped, not defiled or immaculate, not deficient or complete. Therefore, O Sai Putra, it is because of his indifference to any kind of personal attainment and through his reliance on the perfection of wisdom that a body sat for dwells without thought coverings. In the absence of thought coverings, he has not been made to tremble. He has overcome what can upset. And in the end, he attains to nirvana. All those who appear in Buddhas in the three periods of time fully awake to the utmost, right and perfect enlightenment because they have relied on the perfection of wisdom. One should know the Pranya Palamita as the great mantra, the mantra of great knowledge, the utmost mantra, the unequaled mantra, a layer of all suffering in truth for what could go wrong. By the Pranya Palamita has this mantra been delivered, gone, gone, gone beyond, gone all together beyond, O what unawakening. We hope you enjoyed the talk.
