觀  自  在  菩  薩 ,

Avalokiteśvara[3] Bodhisattva[4];

行  深  般  若  波  羅  密  多 ,

Who has achieved the profound Prajnaparamita[5];

時  照  見  五  蘊  皆  空 ,

Constantly observes that the five Pancaskandha[6] are all unreal; and

度  一  切  苦  厄 .  

Annihilates all pain and suffering[7].

舍 利 子!   色 不 異 空,   空 不 異 色 .  

Sariputra[8]! All forms/images/phenomena are not distinguished from the void, and the void is no different from every single form/image/phenomenon;  

色 即 是 空,   空 即 是 色 .

All forms/images/phenomena are indeed void, and the void connotes all forms/images/phenomena.
