Heart Sutra

Observing-Self-Being Bodhisattva developed deep wisdom to observe and be aware of ​the truth of life. After that, he became brightly aware that the five developments (Illusion being, receiving, thinking, acting, and awareness) are empty, and he released all suffering and pain.

Buddha said to his student: Sir Li Tsö, Illusion being (the body and its surrounding) is not different than Emptiness, and Emptiness is not different than Illusion Being. Illusion Being is Emptiness, Emptiness is Illusion Being. Receiving, thinking, acting, and awareness are also Emptiness.

He continued: Sir Li Tsö, the essence of Dharma (consciousness) has no form, never appears nor disappears, is neither dirty nor clean, and is never added to nor subtracted from.

Because this is so, Emptiness (the true essence of Dharma) has:
​No Illusion Being
​No Receiving, thinking, acting, or awareness
​No eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, or mind
​No form, sound, smell, taste, touch, or Dharma (the appearance of all life form)
​No limit to the awareness of seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching, or thinking
​No blind awareness
​No aging and death
​No suffering, acquiring, destroying, or learning
​No wisdom and nothing to get

Because he becomes aware of that the truth of life is consciousness and Illusion Being, and both truly are emptiness. He understands that there is nothing to get from life. Then, as Bodhisattva, he helps people become aware of the truth of life.

From deep awareness of the truth of life, his heart becomes free. Because his heart is free ​he has no fear and is awakened from dream illusions. Thus, he reaches Nirvana.

Because all Buddha’s develop completely the Por Ler wisdom to observe and be aware of the truth of life, they reach the development of limitless complete awareness.

This is why Por Ler Bor Lour Me Duo Shing Ching is:
​The philosophy to reach Buddha Consciousness;
​The philosophy of unlimited bright awareness;
​The highest philosophy of the truth of life;
​The philosophy that explains how incredible the truth of life is;
​The philosophy that can release the suffering from any form of life;
​The completely true philosophy without blind awareness

So the meaning of Por Ler Bor Lour Me Duo Shing Ching is to help people become aware of the truth of life. Truly, it is to help people become aware of the truth of life.

Por Ler Bor Lour Me Duo Shing Ching is the philosophy to help people most quickly develop complete unlimited awareness.
