2. Sometimes the path of least resistance involves active resistance.
I think someone will know what I mean.





Sariputra,
Form is no different from empty
Empty no different from form
Form is just empty
Empty just form
Sensation, perception, volition and consciousness
Are also like this

Sariputra, this is the emptiness of all dharmas
They neither arise nor cease
Are neither defiled nor pure
Neither increase nor decrease

For this reason within emptiness there is no form
No sensation, perception, volition or consciousness
No eye, ear, nose, tongue, body or mind
No sight, sound, scent, taste, touch or thought
No seeing,…even no thinking
No ignorance nor end of ignorance,…even
No aging and death, nor end of aging and death
No suffering, origin, cessation or path
No wisdom and no attainment

Because nothing is attained
Bodhisattvas maintain prajnaparamita
Then their heart is without hinderance
And since without hinderance, without fear
Escaping upside-down, dream like thinking
And completely realizing nirvana
All buddhas of all times maintain prajnaparamita
Thus attaining anuttara-samyak-sambodhi
Hence know, prajnaparamita is
The all-powerful mantra
The great enlightening mantra
The unexcelled mantra
The unequaled mantra
Abel to dispel all suffering
This is true, not false
Therefore proclaim the prajnaparamita mantra
Recite the mantra thus
Gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha
