Gate means gone. Gone from suffering to the liberation of suffering. Gone from forgetfulness to mindfulness. Gone from duality into non-duality.

Gate gate means gone, gone.

Paragate means gone all the way to the other shore. So this mantra is said i


Emptiness (Based upon the Prajnaparamita Sutra//Heart Sutra)

There's no life with no death
There's no death with no life
Be here and take a breath
Be free out of strife.

Gate, Gate
Paragate, Parasangate
Bodhi Svaha

Beyond concepts and notions
Life is an illusion
Universe and oceans
There's a vision
Beyond nothingness
Beyond emptiness

Gate, Gate
Paragate, Parasangate
Bodhi Svaha

You see the smile behind a tear
You stay there or here
You'll be out of Mara's hand
Nothingness, you'll understand.

Gate, Gate
Paragate, Parasangate
Bodhi Svaha

Looking deeply through consciousness
Reaching the other shore
Spread your wings and soar
Beyond emptiness


There's no beginning or end
Nothing you can pretend
Emptiness


Gate, Gate
Paragate, Parasangate
Bodhi Svaha
