om gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha

Tibetan Buddhist Mantra; The Heart Sutra
om gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha!
Gone, gone, gone beyond altogether beyond, Awakening, fulfilled!

I recorded this with iRig microphone on Samsung GalaxyS3 because i want to use it in one of my animated films.

Rinpoche's translation is: OM, GONE (GATE is gone), GONE, (then PARAGATE) GONE BEYOND, (PARASAMGATE) GONE COMPLETELY BEYOND, (BODHI) AWAKE, (SVAHA) SO BE IT. So: OM, GONE, GONE, GONE BEYOND, GONE COMPLETELY BEYOND, AWAKE, SO BE IT.

No matter where we are, we can move on to the next beyond. Do you see? It's not a description of: I made it! It's like this! It's a description of: OM, groundless, even more groundless, can it get more groundless than this, Oh my gosh, it's ultimately groundless, there's no ground!, and then BODHI could be translated as Aiiiiiiiii..... [or.... Ahhhhhhhhh...] So be it. [laughter]
