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:
