Heart Sutra in English is a Zen chant that contains the core of the Buddha's teaching. This is the English translation of the Japanese version (Hannya Shingyo) that is commonly chanted in Zen monastaries all over 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.

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
