Introduction to Reciting Sutras and Mantras (Heart Sutra)



Guanyin Citta
Power of Reciting Heart Sutra
Heart Sutra, Prajna Paramita Hrdaya Sutra in Sanskrit, or Po Jo Po Lo Mi To Hsin Ching 般若般羅密多心經 (Hsin Ching 心經) in short, is for establishing connections with Guan Yin Bodhisattva, and to obtain wisdom through the mercy and compassion of Guan Yin Bodhisattva. This sutra takes the form of energy in the Asura realm and the Deva realm (known as “Heaven” in English), it carries means of currency in the underworld, and most importantly, it is wisdom in the human realm. Some of its great powers include: disciplining misbehaved children (making children more obedient); influencing adults to have a religious belief e.g. Buddhism; communicating with elders who are stubborn; calming emotions; granting wisdom; and alleviating depression. It can also be used for performing the transferring of merits to the deceased.
For Daily Recitation: Generally 3 or 7 times per day until the end of life. The Heart Sutra can be recited until 10PM during good weather. If it is cloudy or rainy, it is best if you can recite it during day time. You should avoid reciting the Heart Sutra after 10PM, or during extreme weather, including heavy rain, thunderstorm, and lightning.
Prayer: Before reciting this sutra, you can say your prayer or wish as follows, “May the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva protect and bless me, <your full name>, grant me wisdom, a pure mind, calmness; and help me to be free from afflictions (maintain focus while performing recitations).”
