Experienced a few moments of several seconds each where I could SEE my thoughts and how impermanent they are as they came and went. Thank you!

My daughter had a monk chant this at her service in Japan. A special moment.

Ironically, one "understands" this Sutra until one no longer recites it. Until one lets go and stops repeating.

What fun! It took a minute to get used to the tone of the chant, but once I did it turned it to be surprisingly beautiful and deep. Look forward to another listen, soon

Foundational for all practitioners … nicely chanted. Slightly slower than I am used to, but everyone does these things differently.
