English translation of the words in the Heart Sutra Rap: Thus have I heard these words. Once the Blessed One was dwelling in Rajagriha at Vulture Peak, together with a great gathering of monks and bodhisattvas. At that time the Blessed Lord entered the samadhi that expresses phenomena called profound illumination. At the same time, the Noble Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva-mahasattva, observed carefully the practice of the profound Perfection of Transcendent Wisdom. He saw precisely that the five aggregates6 were themselves empty by nature. Through the power of the inspiration of the Buddha, venerable Shariputra said to the Noble Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva-mahasattva: “How should a son or a daughter of noble family8 train, who wishes to practice the Profound Perfection of Transcendent Wisdom?" Addressed in this manner, the Noble Avalokiteshvara answered the venerable Shariputra. "O, Shariputra, a son or daughter of noble family who wishes to practice the Profound Perfection of Transcendent Wisdom should see it like this: The five aggregates themselves are empty by nature. One should see that in a precise and pure way. Form is emptiness. Emptiness is form. Emptiness is no other than form; form is no other than emptiness. In the same way, feelings, perceptions, mental formations, and consciousnesses are empty. Thus, Shariputra, all phenomena are empty; they have no characteristics, no origin, no cessation, no impurity, no purity, no decrease, no wholeness. Thus, Shariputra, in emptiness, there is no form, no feeling, no perception, no mental formation, no consciousness. There is no eye, no ear, no nose, no tongue, no body, no mind. There is no appearance, no sound, no smell, no taste, no touch, no phenomena. There is no visual constituent and so on up to no mental constituent and no mental consciousness constituent. There is no ignorance, no cessation of ignorance and so on up to no old age and death, no cessation of old age and death. Likewise, there is no suffering, no origin of suffering, no cessation of suffering, no path. There is no primordial awareness, no accomplishment, and no non- accomplishment. Therefore, Shariputra, because the bodhisattvas have nothing to attain, they leave it up to the Profound Perfection of Transcendent Wisdom and dwell in it. Their minds being without veil, they have no fear. Having reached beyond any error, they have attained the state beyond suffering. All the Buddhas manifesting in the three times, effectively have attained the totally pure, unsurpassable, and perfect Awakening by leaving it up to this Profound Transcendent Wisdom. Therefore, the mantra of Transcendent Wisdom, the mantra of great insight, the unsurpassable mantra, the mantra that equals the unequaled, the mantra that perfectly dissipates all suffering should be known as Truth since there is no falsehood. The mantra of the Perfection of Transcendent Wisdom is said like this: Tayata om gate gate paragate para samgate bodhi soha
Wow, really good. Why not? Whether it might appeal to young people particulary Westerner or not, I don't know. In any case, an interesting attempt of an interpretation and a good sound and voice.
Thank you so much Rinporche for bringing up the rap version. Grateful for your creativity in disseminating knowledge.Such a noble and artful practice.Look forward to your more insightful discussion and lecture.
Buddharma will essentially remain the same as long as there is so-called LIFE no matter how and where and when, it’s eternal now, but Buddhism must evolve with time and era on this planet. I am sure this music will touch many Buddhist rappers and enhance their understanding of true Emptiness, but even more so, it will attract the “not-Buddhist-yet” people all over the world. I appreciate your idea and effort. Amazing La. I have only one humble recommendation though. You should produce a new version of the same song with reduced number of chorus chanting ཏདྱ་ཐཱ། ག་ཏེ་ག་ཏེ་པཱ་ར་ག་ཏེ་པཱ་ར་སཾ་ག་ཏེ་བོ་དྷི་སྭ་ཧཱ། and include the complete sutra in the song. I found that you skipped the last part La. Sarva Mangalam! 🙏
Rinpoche la ,this heart sutra is one of my favorite ever since i heard it a few years back. This has surely brought a lot of intrest in Buddhism among the younger generation, such a unique piece. 😊 🙏 🙏
Tri Ratna Sarnam Rinpoche 🙏🙏 Not being able to find the words to express my gratitude n joy towards your effort to present Prajnaparmita in such way..Being Greedy/Expecting to listen also in Nepali version & Always Longing to understand Heart Sutra to benefit all sentient beings 🙏❤
Thank you very much!This is very spicy! You have a very cool voice and i like it that you do so much with music because it reaches out to some hidden areas in the mind.I think music can open the heart in a very special way.A life without music would be boring. 🌈🙏🌈 Have a wonderfull time and thank you for everything that you do
Sure it will help to learn it, cannot you add it to your Spotify account? I would be able to ear it more often. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏, Christophe or Karma Jinpa
Dear Christophe, I do not have a Spotify account. But if you are willed to look after one in my name, I can connect you with my assistant to talk about it.
Ofereço essa dança a todos os Budhas, Bodisatvas, a todos da Sangha mundial e aos nossos professores, Lamas e Rinpoches 💃Que todos possam se beneficiar🙏 Namo Guru!
💐🙏💐🙏💐🙏💐🙏💐🙏💐
🙏🙏🙏

🙏🙏🙏
Wow, loved it...as a fan of Eminem and Tibetan buddhism both, this was very delightful ❤ 👏...Thank you Rinpoche 🥰🥰🥰
May it be of benefit 🙏🙏🙏
