Saturday walk and Buddhist Heart Sutra x
An episode of almost 12 mins on a Saturday rambling dog walk through the fields in West Penwith, Cornwall.
Also singing the Heart Sutra, from the Mahayana tradition which has been so beautiful for me recently and also reminds me of when I stayed in a Buddhist Monastery many years ago...
** I'm not a singer - so my voice isn't the best! :) - this podcast is for confidence around voice and all being perfect just as it is x
Gate gate para gate para sam gate bodhi swaha
(Sanskrit: गते गते पार गते पार संगते बोधि स्वाहा)
- Buddhist mantra found at the end of the Heart Sutra and included in the Prajnaparamita ('Perfection of Wisdom') section of the Mahayana Buddhist canon. It is also known as the Heart Calming Mantra.
It can be translated as 'Go, Go, go beyond, go completely beyond the beyond, such awakening, so great! (hallelujah!) ...in going beyond illusion to true reality. In effect staying as that which Is and not being affected by all that is not.
Thank you so much for listening x
