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
http://www.nozt.org/teachings/hannyashingyo.shtml

Maka Hannya Haramita Shingyo
Kan ji zai bo za tsu
Gyo jin han ya ha ra mi ta
Ji sho ken go on kai ku
Do i sai ku
Yaku sha ri shi

Shiki fu i ku
Ku fu i shiki
Shiki soku ze ku
Ku soku ze shiki
Ju so gyo shiki

Yaku bu nyo ze
Sha ri shi
Ze sho ho ku so
Fu sho fu metsu
Fu ku fu jo
Fu zo fu gen

Ze ko ku chu
Mu shiki mu ju so gyo shiki
Mu gen ni bi ze shin i
Mu shiki sho ko mi soku ho
Mu gen kai nai shi mu i shiki kai
Mu mu myo yaku mu mu myo jin
Nai shi mu ro shi yaku mu ro shi jin
Mu ku shu metsu do mu chi yaku mu toku i

Mu sho toku ko bo dai sa ta e
Han ya ha ra mi ta ko
Shin mu ke ge mu ke ge ko
Mu u ku fu on ri i sai ten do mu so ku gyo ne

Toku a noku ta ra san myaku san bo dai
Ko chi han ya ha ra mi ta
Ze dai jin shu ze dai myo shu
Ze mu jo shu ze mu to do shu
No jo i sai ku shin jitsu fu ko
Ko setsu han ya ha ra mi ta shu
Soku setsu shu watsu

Gya tei gya tei

Hannya Shingyo

Hope it helps

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

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 :D

Thank you both

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.

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).

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

[Risho]

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:

[Onshin]

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

Here is a visual rendition of the Heart Sutra;

It's a different approach...

May you all be well.

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

Gassho

Joe

[Heisoku]

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

Best wishes and gassho Nige

Yes, I found the constant gongs in my headphones a new way to pierce "suffering". :wink:

Thank you Drut, a very interesting site.

Joe, just a very simple piece of advice: if you study the heart sutra in old Japanese, please, get the rhythm right. Don't iron it. Make it bumpy and rocky. So it is always good to listen to the stuff sang by guys and join in,sing along. Until it is part of your cells.
That's how I learned it.
