The noble bodhisattva, Avalokitesvara, being engaged in practicing the
deep transcendental wisdom-discipline, looked down from above upon the
five skandhas /(aggregates), and saw that in their /svabhava
/(self-being) they are devoid of substance.

Here, O Sariputra, bodily-form is voidness; verily, voidness is
bodily-form. Apart from bodily-form there is no voidness; so apart from
voidness there is no bodily-form. That which is voidness is bodily-form;
that which is bodily-form is voidness. Likewise (the four aggregates)
feeling, perception, mental imaging, and consciousness (are devoid of
substance).

Here, O Sariputra, all phenomena of existence are characterized by
voidness: neither born nor annihilated, neither blemished nor
immaculate, neither deficient nor overfilled.

Therefore, O Sariputra, in voidness there is no bodily-form, no feeling,
no mental imaging, no consciousness; no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, or
mind; no sense objects of bodily-form, sound, smell, taste, or touchable
states; no visual element, and so forth, until one comes to no
mind-cognition element. There is no ignorance, nor extinction of
ignorance, until we come to: no aging and death, nor extinction of aging
and death. There is no suffering, no origination, no cessation, no path;
there is no higher knowledge, no attainment (of nirvana), no nonattainment.
Therefore, O Sariputra, by reason of his nonattainment (of nirvana), the
bodhisattva, having resorted to prajnaparamita (transcendental
wisdom), dwells serenely with perfect mental freedom. By his
non-possession of mental impediments (the bodhisattva) without fear,
having surpassed all perversions, attains the unattainable (bliss of)
nirvana.

All Buddhas, self-appointed to appear in the three periods of time
(past, present, and future), having resorted to the incomparable
/prajnaparamita/, have become fully awake to /samyak sambodhi/ (absolute
perfect enlightenment).

Therefore prajnaparamita should be recognized as the great mantra, the
mantra of great wisdom, the most sublime mantra, the incomparable mantra
and the alleviator of all suffering; it is truth by reason of its being
nonfalsehood. This is the mantra proclaimed in prajnaparamita. It is:

Gone, gone, gone beyond, gone altogether beyond (to the other shore)! O
enlightenment! Be it so! Hail!

(This concludes the Prajnaparamita-Hridaya-Sutra)

The strikingly beautiful Snow leopard – the big cat of the Himalaya Mountains, is one of the world’s most elusive felines. It has a 12-country home range and in India it is found in higher reaches of the snow-capped Himalayas, above the tree line, in the states of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh. The terrain where it dwells is hostile to humans. It is rarely spotted and hardly photographed. Hence, little is known about it. The species’ actual status and its currently occupied range are poorly mapped. The Snow Leopard is top predator of this region. Though it is not a physical threat to humans, it is still persecuted as it sometimes preys on their livestock.

Our team will lead you the trails of snow leopard and to have an excellent time to spend sometime in the home of snowleopard.
