Heart Sutra

[Onshin]

Hiya all,

Is there a link where I can find The Heart Sutra in Japanese? I tried doing a search at top right but no joy, and it would be nice to be able to follow it on Saturday.

Hi!

Here is a version from Deshimaru's Sangha in the USA

Gyo jin han ya ha ra mi ta
Ji sho ken go on kai ku

Re: Heart Sutra

And this is how it should sound like:

... re=related

The heart sutra is from your toe to your skull and beyond a living scroll of flesh-sound-beat.
Neither English nor exotic.

As you like it

Re: Heart Sutra

Hiya,
Thanks Luis, I'm sure that will do very nicely. And thanks Taigu for the link, I don't know if it is intuitive or maybe I remember hearing it, but that is how I was reading in my brain.

Excellent

Thank you both

Re: Heart Sutra

OH ... BUT THAT WAS A MISPRINT .... AND WAS TO SAY "HEART SUTRA IN ENGLISH"

This week's Heart Sutra will be in English ... and is found in our Chant Book, as always ...

I apologize for the confusion!

Can you explain this a little, Taigu?

Thank you.

Re: Heart Sutra

Hiya
Thank you Jundo, did I pass your little test to see if I was taking notice? :lol: I have it in English but it is still nice to be able to study it in Japanese, I think.
Looking forward to tomorrow, (hope the knees hold out).

Re: Heart Sutra

Thanks for the sutra and the you tube, Jundo and Taigu - its great to see my teachers in such agreement

Re: Heart Sutra

Thank you for the translations! And Taigu Sensei thank you for that comment! It's easy for me to space out sometimes when reciting it, but then sometimes I am there in it. At first it was odd for me, but when you are just chanting the sutra, fully chanting it, it's very, very beautiful

I don't know any Japanese, so my comments come from a completely ignorant perspective, but I just love the sound of the language. And the Heart Sutra is so much more condensed than when it is recited in English.

Dear Joe,

are you looking for the Hannya Shingyou in Kanji?
Here some links:

Re: Heart Sutra

Hiya,
thank you so much for the links ShinMeiDokuJoh. As a part time student of calligraphy found the first one particularly fascinating, I look forward to giving it a try one day when I am a bit more confident.
Again, many many thanks and deep Gassho

Re: Heart Sutra

Hello Nige,
thanks a lot for the link to the film, I found it most engrossing.
What started out as Jundo's little typo is turning into an interesting little study for me. Luckily, the Heart Sutra has always been my favourite. Again thanks

Re: Heart Sutra

No probs Joe.
There are also other films of interest on the site featuring Bernie Glassman and Taisen Deshimaru.

Best wishes and gassho Nige
