Heart Sutra in Japanese language
般若心経/Heart Sutra (heart of wisdom) Found this music video on You Tube to be pleasing to my mind when I work, and so am sharing it with you on this blog site. Have addded it also to my Spotify list. Have a look at the comments on the Youtube video and you can see that people who appreciated this work of art are not just those who identify as Buddhists. Just sharing my personal experience listening to this piece of music. The chant words are as follows: 般若心経 Heart Sutra ma ka han nya ha ra mi ta shin gyo 摩訶般若波羅蜜多心経 kan ji zai bo sa gyo jin han nya ha ra mi ta ji 観自在菩薩 行深般若波羅蜜多時 sho ken go on kai ku do is-sai ku yaku 照見五蘊皆空 度一切苦厄 sha ri shi shiki fu i ku ku fu i shiki 舍利子 色不異空 空不異色 shiki soku ze ku ku soku ze shiki 色即是空 空即是色 ju so gyo shiki yaku bu nyo ze sha ri shi 受想行識亦復如是 舍利子 ze sho ho ku so fu sho fu metsu 是諸法空相 不生不滅 fu ku fu jo fu zo fu gen ze ko ku chu mu shiki 不垢不浄 不増不減 是故空中 無色 mu ju so gyo shiki mu gen ni bi ze-shin ni 無受想行識 無眼耳鼻舌身意 mu shiki sho k
