Buddha spell collection useful in various situations

There are two types of sutras: sentences that describe the Buddha’s teachings (explanatory sentences) and spells that have meaning in pronunciation (sound). Here, representative spells are posted with voice data.

Buddha’s incantation was originally pronounced in Pali and Sanskrit, but when Master Genjo Sanzang translated it into Chinese, he used Chinese characters with similar pronunciations, so the characters themselves have no meaning. The sound has meaning and effect. Thus spells have no effect whether they are read by the eye or by the mind;

[ A spell that avoids disaster and brings happiness ]

[ Heart Sutra ]
Hannya Shingyo

This is probably the most famous sutra. The Heart Sutra is a commentary on the sutra that explains the truth and structure of the world (universe) in which we live. The part of the spell is only the sentence “Gyatei, Gyatei” that appears at the end.

Master Xuanzang translated it into Chinese and read it aloud, which is the “Heart Sutra (harmony)” that you often hear.
In the Obaku sect, it is read with the pronunciation of the Ming and Tang dynasties in China.
