Description: The Heart Sutra in Japanese with a word-by word English translation and commentary
The Heart Sutra, in its Japanese form (the ), is often chanted by Zen groups before and/or after a meditation sitting. It's ideal for this purpose because its concise length (less than 300 syllables) makes it easy to memorize, while still capturing the essential elements of Buddhist teaching. It isn't necessary to understand the words of the Hannya Shingyo in order to derive benefit from it, simply allowing yourself to become absorbed in the act of chanting. However, it's possible to add another dimension to the experience with even a basic understanding of the words themselves, and that's the purpose of this page.
