How sure can you be? If you rely on your understanding, it is great indeed, if you dont rely on understanding/knowing, how great can it go? :D

Thanks so much for this Aaron, great read. I first heard the heart sutra summer of '95 thereabouts and i did not have the benefit of a ubiquitous internet or learned individuals walking me through the thing i'd just heard that gave me a gut reaction and the hairs on the back of the neck thing.
As an aside how gorgeous is that copy you showed, leave it to the good people there to make just about anything look like an amulet unto itself if they wanna. ☸ 📿

Thank you for the interesting video! If I may, the correct Sanskrit pronunciation of Shūnyatā is “shoonyataa “, with the last syllable elongated and emphasised, not the “a” in “ya”. That is a short “a”. In Devanagari it is spelt as follows: शून्यता. Also, the jñ in prajñā is actually pronounced closer to ngya (hard one this!). The Devanagari is ज्ञ. There is no actual “ja” sound. Think of a nasalized “gya” . Hope this helps

Dr Proffitt, I think you presented an excellent view into the essence of the Heart Sutra. Thank you for bringing it into english/western culture. In metta, Thich Minh Tinh

I will let Prof. Aaron Proffitt know you are interested in the text.

[@nickhoward7419]

Is there a place where we could get your translation of the heart sutra online?

[@AmericanBuddhistStudyCenter]

Sorry for the delay; just Google the Heart Sutra, and you will find many translations.

Correct word is sutta not sutra...all the suttas are in pali nt sanskrit,..pali is mother of buddhist sanskrit which is evolved form pali after 5th AD and after 8th AD Brahmins ( hindus) picked and further evolved buddhist hybrid sanskrit into classical in Devnagri script...so people get confused abt sanskrit. Brahmins of india distroyed buddhism in india with the help of mughals they first distroyed all buddhist universities first.
