of The heart of Prajnaparameta Sutra
with verses without a stand and prose commentary
venerable Tripitaka Master Hsuan Hua
English Translation by the buddhist Text Translations Society
copyrite 2002
"How do you give rise to afflictions? By being stupid. You misunderstand situations and so are afflicted."
Why do you become afflicted? Thoughts of contempt, of arogance and condescension generate afflictions."
"Why are you still afflicted right nonw? Because you have deviant views and see situations incorrectly. If no matter what is happening, you have proper knowledge, proper views, and genuine wisdome, you will see very, very clearly and will understand completelly. When clarity and understanding appear in the midst of circumstances, then there is no affliction. It is the deviant views of greed, hatred, stupidity, arrogance and doupt that produce the affliction-obsticle."
