The Heart Sutra

The Heart of the Perfection of
Wisdom Sutra

Please visit my blog for some more information on the Heart Sutra:
http://happy-minds.blogspot.com/

This vid is for people who are unable to read, or who just prefer listening over reading. In this video I am reading aloud the text of the Heart Sutra, as I found it in this document: http://www.fpmt.org/education/prayers/heartsutra_bl.pdf, offered by The Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition website, http://www.fpmt.org.
On the background, you can hear the mantra of Avalokiteshvara in sanskrit, listen to it on http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=-c9-XaA2f00.
A good explanation of some concepts dealt with in the Heart Sutra, can be found on http://www.dhammadana.org/en/dhamma/5_aggregates.htm
Also: http://www.tientai.net/glossary/5aggregates.htm
I hope you will enjoy this video, I surely enjoyed creating it.

Well, I do not understand it completely (yet). Also, I am a little camera-shy. However, I find the Heart Sutra very interesting. Would you be so kind as to explain your comment to me? I would like to better this vid and I could really use some constructive comments.

Thank you for the pure audio. No text. No reading. No eyestrain. No bloodshot eyes. No squinting. No glasses.... etc. Just a buddha joke there. heh-heh.

I can close my eyes and listen over and over and it will sink in. I love the sanskrit too, but understanding is necessary for me. Form may be emptiness, but I still have to live with it for a while.
