"God is a concept by which we measure our pain."

"I just believe in me, Yoko and me. And that's reality."



無無明亦無無明尽
mu-mu-myou-yaku-mu-mu-myou-jin
no ignorance and also no extinction of ignorance

乃至老死亦老死尽
nai-shi-mu-rou-shi-yaku-mu-rou-shi-jin
and so forth until no old age and death and no extinction of old age and death

苦集滅道
mu-ku-shuu-metsu-dou
no suffering, origination, stopping, path

智亦
mu-chi-yaku-mu-toku
no cognition also no attainment

所得故
i-mu-sho-tok-ko
with nothing to attain

菩提薩埵依般若波羅蜜多故
bo-dai-sat-ta-e-han-nya-ha-ra-mi-ta-ko
the Bodhisattva depends upon Prajna Paramita

罣礙
shin-mu-ke-ge
and mind is no hindrance
