I’m used to chanting this with my sangha with no other accompaniment than the other voices and maybe a mukugyo. Even though there is much more accompaniment and the addition of the namu myōhō renge kyō at the beginning, I find this beautiful and inspiring. Thank you!

Excellent. I did not understand a word of it. Probably just as well ... Heart Sutures can be our undoing ... Broken Hearts πŸ’” β€œYou have to keep breaking your heart until it opens.” ― Roshi Rumi

Very good voice, nice pace too. Bit too much fluff for me (I just need a version to chant along with) , but objectively, this version was really well done!

This is a beautiful rendition. The pace allows me to chant with the recording and the sino-Japanese is the most similar I've found to what is used in my lineage. Thank you.

Thanks for share with us this beautiful recitation on the Zen tradition of the Heart Sutra (Hannya Shingyo), never mind what tradition we do this recitation of The Heart of the Perfection of Wisdom its also one good invitation to the deep understanding of this wonderful Sutra. Thanks for share.

Seeking sounds for healing the heart. This felt like one if them. β™₯οΈπŸ•ŠπŸ™πŸ»

This is the most entertaining version of Hannya Shingyo I’ve ever heard! I was taken aback at first to hear accompanying music because it is usually just a Zen monk voice with a mokugyo and a gong. It was lovely to be able to recite the sutra along. The sound effect is tastefully done and beautiful. I think I will come back to this from time to time. P.S. Yes, your intention is clear and well executed. It can make this magnificent sutra more approachable and popular. Great contribution! Thank you.
