- Adapted from https://plumvillage.org/about/thich-nhat-hanh/letters/thich-nhat-hanh-new-heart-sutra-translation#thays-letter, a work in progress (see also Mastodon posts):
[[Avalokiteshvara]]
while practicing deeply
in the [[insight that brings us to the other shore]],
discovered
that the [[five Skandhas]] are [[empty]],
and with this realization
overcame ill-being.
[[Sariputra]]:
this [[Body]] (form) is empty
and emptiness is this body.
This body is none other than emptiness
and emptiness is none other than this body.
The same is true of [[Feelings]],
[[Perceptions]],
[[Mental Formations]],
and [[Consciousness]].
<hr />
Sariputra:
all phenomena bear the mark of emptiness;
their nature is that of:
no birth no death,
no being no non-being
no defilement no purity,
no increasing no decreasing.
That is why Emptiness,
Body,
Feelings,
Perceptions,
Mental Formations
and Consciousness
are not separate [[self entities]].
