The Heart Sutra Mantra, Ecosexually Translated

GET DOWN GET DOWN GET RIGHT DOWN WITH IT SO FAR INTO IT BINGO

I prefer this to Philip Whalen's beat one (sorry!)

GONE GONE REALLY GONE INTO THE COOL OH MAMA

The actual mantra is

OM GATE GATE PARAGATE PARASAMGATE BODHI SVAHA

The thing is, what are we going beyond? (“Gate” means “gone.”)

We are going beyond concepts.

We are not going beyond trees. Or hands. Or breath.
