This is the traditional way the Heart Sutra (Prajñāpāramitāhṛdaya) is read in Kyoto Zen temples. The reading is the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese characters. It is a live track from the daily service at Daishu-in West and the audio quality isn't great. Please enjoy it as is until the audio equipment is upgraded.

Thank you. I enjoyed very much the atmosphere of this sutra singing which transported my spirit to the zen temple in Kyoto.
