Heart Sutra
(English)
This is an excerpt from : "THE RECITATION FOR THE MEDITATION OF THE GREAT COMPASSIONATE ONE FOR THE BENEFIT OF BEINGS AS VAST AS THE SKIES". IT WAS COMPOSED BY THE MAHASIDDHA TANG TONG GYALPO, BORN IN 1361 and carries the Blessing of His Speech! This version was translated thanks to the efforts of Ven.
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR SUTRAS IN ALL SECTS OF BUDDHISM.
A study on the meaning of Emptyness
The audio was originally recorded at Karma Choeling Tibetan Buddhist Monastery near Auckland, NZ in late August 2001, the words and art recently added.
I would like to offer a very special "Thank You" to Venerable Lama Karma Samten and his early students in New Zealand for translating this powerful text.
Also thanks to H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche's website for the beautiful artwork.
