I want to learn the Heart Sutra

Nice to meet you and thank you for your support.
I'm the head nurse.
Since March, we have been busy dealing with COVID-19 every day.
While feeling anxious that I might get infected, I have been paying attention to the physical condition and mentality of the staff.
However, due to the prolonged spread of COVID-19, various things occurred, such as the staff getting sick and unable to work, and there were staff members who were angry, dissatisfied, and anxious, and I was exhausted myself.
Meanwhile, I came across the Heart Sutra.
Originally, I wasn't interested in religion, and when it came to religion, I had a strong image of solicitations, offerings, and bad things happening without faith, so I somehow avoided it.
However, I came into contact with the Heart Sutra and “everything is empty”
What is the way of thinking that bodies, emotions, and things are all empty
reassuring? I felt a sense of peace.
It's difficult, do you understand? Seems like you don't understand? I don't understand it at all, but reading the Heart Sutra calms my mind a bit.
I was impatient because I wanted to read the Heart Sutra quickly, and I quickly bought a sutra of the Heart Sutra at a nearby Koyasan Shingon sect temple.
I'd like to be more exposed to the Heart Sutra, but I'm single and can't become a parishioner without a Buddhist altar at home.
When I looked it up, there doesn't seem to be a system of initiation, and I want to learn more about the Heart Sutra and the teachings of Buddhism and incorporate them into me, but I don't know the jutsu.
There seems to be a scripture reading session twice a month on the temple's website, but it's difficult for me, as a health care worker, to listen to stories where I share sutras with others at the temple amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Actually, it's a temple wrapped in the scent of incense, and I'd like to recite sutras while facing myself.
In order to face the coronavirus, which is likely to continue
How do you come into contact with the Heart Sutra and the Buddha's teachings,
I'm wondering if I should recite sutras.
I don't know how to read it, so I tried reading along with the YouTube sutras, and I did my best to learn from literature or YouTube.
Isn't there a better way?

I'll tell you

If I don't mind, I'll tell you^^

I'm writing picture books and explanatory books on the Heart Sutra.

Am I also a potent drug called Sora? It is one person who can get peace of mind by ^^;

For now, go ahead and translate the Heart Sutra with Shamon ^^

Free translation of the Heart Sutra

Kanjizai Bosatsu, who pursues freedom, shares the freedom (Tsubasa) called “the five pillars are the sky”
I found it.

There are no distractions in the sky.

Obstacles when walking are in front of something with spears
It's no longer an obstacle; you can simply view them freely.

That, this, that all, everyone, what bothered them in the past
It all became “just that,” and what's the problem for him anymore
But it's gone.

His heart is already the same as Ozora,
It's over the corner.

The fact that I was afraid and worried about something seems like a long time in the past.

He found out.

The many Buddhas who have opened Satori up until now
I was in the same state of mind as I am now...

At that moment, a deep, deep emotion crept up from the depths of his heart.
I can't help but burst into tears.

Let's put that excitement into words now and mark it.
It will surely become a “amulet” to protect everyone.

That is,
“Ghaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
Harasogya tebogee fidget”
(This went to the Buddha's world, I went,
(My impression is that I came in and Satori opened up.)

(That's all) I'm going to end the Heart Sutra.

I am a Koyasan Shingon sect

Why don't you try copying sutras?

Nice to meet you, Princess Suiren. I read your question.

Princess Suiren is working hard at the forefront of the novel coronavirus infection, isn't she? I would be happy if the teachings of Buddhism could help Princess Water Lilies with little effort.

There are times when it is difficult to meet people, but if you copy sutras, you can do it alone. You can get sutras paper at stationery stores and Buddhist altar stores. You can use a brush pen until you get used to it. Please adjust your breathing while burning incense, and quietly write the Heart Sutra letter by letter.

Someday, the teachings of the Heart Sutra will seep into your body.

I'm praying that Princess Water Lilies will be able to calm down.

There is no other sutra with as many commentaries as the Heart Sutra.

However, for that reason, the range of interpretations based on each arbitrary matter is quite wide, and there are places where it has led to unnecessary confusion.

Another thing is that there are many misunderstandings about “sky,” which has spurred confusion.

In order to correctly understand “sky,” it is necessary to place the same emphasis on another “good fortune” and proceed with understanding.

The point is that we must look at things as “sky” and at the same time as “luck.”

We must advance understanding through “emptiness” and “good fortune” without falling into trouble or trouble. Please be a little careful when studying in the future.

What is one recommendation for an introduction to the correct understanding of the Heart Sutra

There is an “Introduction to the Dalai Lama Heart Sutra” (Shunjusha).

Please refer to it if you like.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you refer to YouTube for how to read it.

However, after the sutras have been recited, I hope you can turn back on the merits of chanting the sutras.

Hope uses this virtue to do everything in general
May we and sentient beings all practice Buddhism
