心經 The Mantra : 無眼耳鼻舌身意, 無色聲香味觸法

觀自在菩薩,行深般若波羅蜜多時,照見五蘊皆空,度一切苦厄。舍利子,不異空,空不異即是空,空即是受想行識,亦復如是。舍利子,是諸法空相,不生不滅,不垢不淨,不增不減。是故空中無,無受想行識,無眼耳鼻舌身意,無色聲香味觸法,無眼界,乃至無意識界,無無明,亦無無明盡,乃至無老死,亦無老死盡。無苦集滅道,無智亦無得。以無所得故。菩提薩埵,依般若波羅蜜多故,心無掛礙。無掛礙故,無有恐怖,遠離顛倒夢想,究竟涅槃。三世諸佛,依般若波羅蜜多故,得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。故知般若波羅蜜多,是大神咒,是大明咒,是無上咒,是無等等咒,能除一切苦,真實不虛。故說般若波羅蜜多咒,即說咒曰:揭諦揭諦,波羅揭諦,波羅僧揭諦,菩提薩婆訶。


In the 260 characters in the 心經 Mantra Script,  perhaps one of the most if not the most important is the repeat mentioning of these words: 

五蘊 = 色 = 受想行識  聲香味觸法 = 聲香味觸法

and there all somehow means the same things 

"六根 Six Sensory Organs", "六識 Six Consciousness" and "六塵 Six Dusts
are the "十八界 Eighteenth Realms" which are the foundations to the 
understandings of 佛學 Buddhism


耳鼻舌身意 (Sensory Organs and Consciousness
色聲香味觸法 (Dusts)

"六根 six Sensory Organs眼耳鼻舌身意 
are the  eye,  ear,  nose,  tongue,  body &  mind。 These six receptive are the 物理 physical media to connect to the 心理 physiological natures of human existence

"六識 six Consciousness眼耳鼻舌身意
This leads to the "六識" are the "心理 physiological" of how we experience "Worldly existence" through what we  See, what we 聽 Hear, what we 聞 Smell, what we 嘗 Taste, what we 感覺 Feel, and what we 思考 Think

"六塵 six Dusts色聲香味觸法
is what the world of presence means to the human in the FORM of  Color,  Sound,  Smells,  Taste of Food,  Touch, and  Thoughts

眼有視神經 The EYE has the Optical nerves to SEE COLOR
耳有聽神經 The EAR has the Auditory nerves to HEAR SOUND
鼻有嗅神經 The NOSE has the  Olfactory nerves To SMELL ODOUR
舌有味神經 The TONGUE has the Taste Buds nerves to TASTE FOOD
身有感觸神經 The BODY has the Sensory nerves to FEEL PAINT and PLEASRE
意有腦神經 The MIND has the Cranial nerves to THINK IDEAS

"六根 Six Sensory Organs" + "六識 Six Sense Consciousness" => "六塵 Six Dusts"
meaning
"六根 Internal Senses" are the TOOLs we use for "六識 Sense Consciousness" to experience the presence of the the Worldly "六塵 Six Dusts"  

and that is why TO ELIMINATE ALL SUFFERINGs is to "無眼耳鼻舌身意" also means "六根清淨" as when we can shut down the Tools (六根 Sensory Organs) that feeds the "六識 Sense Consciousness", we then can eliminate the WORLDLY SUFFERINGs due to what we experience the presence through the lust and cravings of the WORLDLY  "六塵 Six Dusts"   
and that is exactly why

無眼耳鼻舌身意 (No Sensory Organs & Consciousness) 

"六根 Internal Senses" + "六識 Sense Consciousness" => "六塵 Six Dusts"
Therefore:
聲香味觸法 (No Dusts)
"六根 Internal Senses" + "六識 Sense Consciousness" => "六塵 Six Dusts"
Hence:
無的境界 The Realm of Nothingness

心經 The Mantra : 般若波罗蜜多心经 The Heart Sutra (English)

般若波罗蜜多心经
The Heart Sutra 

观自在菩萨, 行深般若波罗蜜多时, 
照见五蕴皆空, 度一切苦厄。
When  Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara was coursing deep into the Prajna Paramita, 
He saw clearly the Five Skandhas are all Empty, and therefore He relieved all of His sufferings. 

舍利子,
色不异空,空不异色。 
色即是空,空即是色。 
受想行识,亦复如是。
Sariputra says, 
Form is not different from Emptiness,
and Emptiness is not different from Form. 
Form is the therefore Emptiness,
and Emptiness is therefore Form. 

利子,是诸法空相, 
不生不灭, 不垢不净, 不增不减
Sariputra says, 
All Dharmas are ultimiately Empty.
There is no born again, nor Death. 
There is no Impurity, nor Purity. 
There is no Increase, nor Decrease. 

是故空中无色,无受想行识, 
无眼耳鼻舌身意, 无色声香味触法。
In Emptiness, there is no Form, no Feeling, no Thought, no Will, and no Consciousness. 
No Eyes, Ears, Nose, Tongue, Body, nor Mind; 
No Color, Sound, Smell, Taste, Touch, nor Thoughts.

无眼界,乃至无意识界。
无无明,亦无无明尽
乃至无老死,亦无老死尽。
When there is no element of Eyes, there shall the end of the state of awareness.
When there is no more ignorance, there shall be the end of the state of ignorance.
Where there is no more death, there shall free from the state of re-incarnations.

无苦集灭道, 无智亦无得,亦无无得。
When all Suffering ends, all Doctrines end as well,
There is no more Wisdom, no more Attainment and no more Non-attainment. Therefore, nothing to be Attained. 

菩提萨埵,依般若波罗蜜多, 
心无挂碍, 无挂碍故,无有恐怖。 
远离颠倒梦想, 究竟涅槃。
The Bodhisattva relying on Prajna Paramita,
Has no Obstruction in His Mind, and because there is no more Obstruction, He has no more Fear.
And He escapes the distorted thoughts, and ultimately attained the state of Nirvana.  

三世诸佛, 
依般若波罗蜜多故, 得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。
The Buddhas of the Past, Present and Future, 
By Relying on Prajna Paramita have all attained Supreme Enlightenment. 

故知般若波罗蜜多,
是大神咒, 是大明咒, 是无上咒,是无等等咒。 能除一切苦, 真实不虚。
Therefore, through the knowledge of Prajna Paramita, 
It is the Great Magic Spell, the Spell of Illumination, the Supreme Spell of all others, 
Which can truly protect one from all Sufferings, It is therefore the final Truth.

故说般若波罗蜜多咒,
即说咒曰: 
揭谛揭谛, 波罗揭谛, 波罗僧揭谛, 菩提萨婆诃。
Therefore Uttereing the Spells of Prajnaparmita, Saying 
Gate, Gate, Paragate, Parasamgate, Bodhi Svaha.

心經 The Mantra : 心經的緣起

心经
摩訶般若波羅密多心經

簡稱《般若心經》Bōrě Xīnjīng
或《
心经》Xīnjīng

心经》的緣起,有一天释迦牟尼和众弟子在靈鷲山, 据说那天释迦牟尼在静坐没有讲道。此时观世音自在菩薩摩訶薩也来此, 释迦牟尼的弟子舍利子知道观世音自在已经透过般若波羅密多修行有成。于是问观世音自在菩薩如何修行般若波羅密多。(One day Gautama Buddha and his disciples were in the woods, and Gautama Buddha was meditating。GuanYin arrived, Gautama's disciples knew GuanYin had attained self-realization through the Mantra and so they asked GuanYin the way。)

於是, 观世音自在菩薩就向舍利子」和释迦牟尼的其他弟子讲述般若波羅密多的方法」。当时大约在二千五百年前, 那时观世音自在菩薩下凡为人, 也是最后一次下凡为人。(Guanyin then narrated the Mantra ways to Sariputra Gautama's disciples, the time was 2500 years ago and that was the last time GuanYin appeared) 

心经里 「般若波羅密多」 的 「般若」, 梵文(Sanskrit)是 "Prajñāpāramitā" , 「般若」 是智慧的意思,很多人都称之为 「大智慧
。(The essence of Mantra teaching is  ”Great Wisdom“)般若」 的起源是人生观起源的问题, 所以是脱离人生老病死苦及一切的痛苦的"大智慧"
心经》把在六百卷的《若波》浓缩成二百六十个字, 虽然只是二百六十个字, 其內容比較艱深 既不易懂,也不易背颂; 但是他的精髓都在第一段。(The Mantra explores the Origins of Life, it is the Great Wisdom“ of how to escape the Sufferings and the cycles of life, age, sickness, and death。Mantra has been summarized into only 260 words from 600 scrolls of writings。It is therefore not a simple task at all to understand its meanings; but all of its essence can be realized in the first 25 words of the Mantra)

心经》内容提了「般若波羅密」五次, 而最后一句提了「般若」两次, 在心经里出现的节奏感非常有智慧用心去写和念心经希望能够带来心平气和。(When one writes and chants the Mantra, the hope is to attain a state peace in the mind as both its content and sense of rhythm is very powerful)
