We adopted the values, morals and assumptions of our parents and the culture in which we all lived. We were fish, at the mercy of the pond. But something has changed. This strange thing called awakening has started to happen. Some of us began to question whether the way things were are the way they have to be. Of course, there have always been people in history who have done that. Some completely transformed culture. Others ended up barbecued on a stake. But never has it happened on such a massive scale as to cause disruption and even chaos, not just in one isolate place, but everywhere. But, while we can look outward at the current turmoil of the world, that is only a reflection of the deeper alchemy at work within our own hearts. The liberation of the world and all the social systems it contains, can only occur following the liberation of individual human souls. Breaking the long chain of ancestral burdens requires deep self examination, in the bright light of wisdom. And at the heart of that wisdom is a simple insight. Your conditioning was your training not your being None of us escaped childhood without enormous parts of our natural brilliance repressed. Our parents did to us what their parents did to them. And their parents did to them and so on and so on and so on back into the primordial soup. What is different now though is that many. many of us are aware of it. We are recognizing conditioning as conditioning. Thus it is not essentially who we are. As far as I am concerned this is the second biggest discovery a human being can make. And it opens the door to the biggest discovery of all... what you essentially are. That recognition of conditioning as conditioning sets in motion a process, a practice, a sadhana. The ancestral burden has infiltrated every aspect of individual life; thought, emotion and sensation and thus has shaped all experience. Integrating this wisdom into your everyday life is the true spiritual path. And that opens the door to a stunning realization. Since the current state of the world is a reflection of the inner state of the human collective i have a power I didn't know I had. My individual, every day embodiment of freedom from conditioning is, simultaneously, the liberation and healing of the entire world Your liberation from ancestral burdens is the liberation of the whole. Do you want to save the world? Well, now you know how. The buck really does stop here.

strongly dislike athena. because how are you gonna construct a daughter. someone who seemingly perfect. so perfect that they don't wound your pride. but refuse to acknowledge her existence for years. and then give her a crumb of a mother's approval. only to disown her like a year later. and then send her on a quest that no child of your has ever come back from. so much for the goddess of wisdom.

Heart Sutra ~ A sutra that describes “The Heart of the Perfection of Wisdom" (1) [So far]

The modern translation

While Avalokiteshvara practising the perfection of profound wisdom, they* saw that the five components (the five skandhas) of all beings are all ‘empty’, without inherent nature or substance, and therefore overcame all suffering and calamities.

(*There are no established theories on the origin or gender of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.)

O Sariputra (Ref), what is form (colour: the body as matter) is not different from Emptiness, and Emptiness is not different from what is form. That which is form is Emptiness, and Emptiness is form. And perception (impression and sensation), thought (perception and representation), action (will and other mental actions), and sense (mind) are emptiness as well.

O Sariputra, since every being is characterised by Emptiness, it neither birth nor death, it neither defilement nor purity, it neither increases nor decreases. That is why, in Emptiness there is no physical body, no perception, no thought, no action, and consciousness. 

There are also no laws for the objects of the sense organs, such as form, sound, smell, taste, touch and mental objects.

The eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind do not exist. The objects of these sense organs - forms, sounds, smells, tastes and things that can be touched, as well as the Dharma as an object of the mind - also do not exist. There are no Eighteen Realms from the eyes as a category to consciousness. Eighteen Realms are the 18 elements of sensory awareness which are six roots, six borders, six consciousnesses (Ref2). There is no condition without wisdom, and there is no end to wisdom. There is no old age and death, and no end to ageing and death. There are no Four Noble Truths (Ref3): 'painful', 'cause', 'thirst' and 'cessation'. There is neither knowing nor gaining.

Precisely because there is nothing to gain, the bodhisattva relies on the perfection of wisdom, because there is nothing to obstruct the mind and precisely because there is no hindrance to the mind, there is no fear. Transcending false thoughts and dreams, they attain Nirvana. The Buddhas of the past, present and future also attain the supreme perfection of enlightenment because they rely on the perfection of wisdom.

That is why you should know. The Prajnaparamita (lit. Perfection of Wisdom) is the great mantra, the mantra of the great enlightened wisdom, the greatest mantra, the most wonderful mantra that has no comparison. It excludes all suffering completely, it is real and not vague.

That is why I shall here preach a mantra in praise of the Perfection of Wisdom.

O ye who go forth, ye who go forth, ye who go to the other shore, O enlightenment, be blessed.

般若心経 〜「智慧の完成」の精髄を述べる経典 (1) （これまで）

『般若波羅蜜多心経 (梵: ﾌﾟﾗｼﾞｭﾅｰﾊﾟｰﾗﾐﾀｰ･ﾌﾘﾀﾞﾔ･ｽｰﾄﾗ) 』 現代語訳

観自在菩薩が深遠なる智慧の完成を実践していたとき、もろもろの存在の五つの構成要素（五蘊）は、皆、固有の本性・実体を持たない「空」であると見極め、だからこそ、あらゆる苦しみと災いを克服した。

舎利子よ（参照）、形あるもの（色: 物質要素としての肉体）は、空に異ならず、空は、形あるものと異ならないのである。形あるものは空であり、空は形あるものなのである。そして、感受作用・表象作用・形成作用・識別作用もまた、同じく空なのである。

舎利子よ、あらゆる存在は空を特質としているから、生じることも滅することもなく、汚れることも清まることもなく、増えることも減ることもない。だからこそ、空であることには、形あるものは存在せず、感受作用・表象作用・形成作用・識別作用も存在しない。

眼・耳・鼻・舌・身体・心も存在しない。これらの感覚器官の対象である形・音・香り・味・触れられるもの・心の対象の法も存在しない。範疇としての眼から、意識にいたるまでの十八界もない。十八界とは、六根、六境、六識である、感覚的意識の十八の要素（参照2）のこと。智慧が無い状態もな��れば、智慧が無い状態も尽きることもない。また、老いて死ぬこともなければ、老いて死ぬことが尽きることもない。苦・集・滅・道という四諦（参照3）もない。知ることもなければ得ることもない。

得るところのものが何もないからこそ、菩薩は智慧の完成に依るのであり、心には妨げるものがなく、心に妨げるものがないからこそ、恐怖があることもない。誤った考えや夢想を超越して、涅槃を究めるのである。また、過去・現在・未来の諸仏も、智慧の完成に依るからこそ、無上なる完全なさとりを得るのである。

だからこそ知るべきである。般若波羅蜜多とは、大いなる真言であり、大いなるさとりの智慧の真言であり、この上ない真言であり、比べるものがないほど素晴らしい真言なのである。よく一切の苦悩を除き、それは実在であり、虚ろなものではないのである。

だからこそ、般若波羅蜜多を讃える真言を、ここで説こう。 往ける者よ、往ける者よ、彼岸に往ける者よ、さとりよ、幸いあれ。
