Heart Sutra or Hannya Shingyo is a Zen chant that contains the core of the Buddha's teaching. This translation and style of chanting / recitation are common in Zen Buddhist monasteries across Japan. Chanting of the text can help you awaken to the truth of Buddhism. Besides, reciting the Heart Sutra is a great concentration and breathing exercise which is a perfect mirror of your state of mind.
