The Heart Sutra is one of the best-known and most popularly chanted Buddhist sutras. It's a spiritual text, a poem, a prayer, a document that points directly at the heart of truth. The themes are emptiness, compassion and transcendent wisdom.

This is my English version done in the Japanese style of chanting the Hannya Shingyo (Maha-Prajna-paramita Hrdaya Sutra):
Great Heart of Transcendent Wisdom Sutra
Kuan Yin Bodhisattva, while practicing deep Prajna-Paramita, clearly saw that all five Skandhas are empty and crossed over all suffering. Shariputra, form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Form does not differ from emptiness; emptiness does not differ from form. Sensation, perception, volition, and consciousness are also like this.
Shariputra, all dharmas are marked with emptiness: Not beginning, not ending, not stained and not pure, not increasing and not decreasing. Within emptiness there is no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body or mind; no seeing, no hearing, no smelling, no tasting, no touching, and no thinking; no realms from sight to mind; no ignorance and no ending of ignorance, no old age and death and no ending of old age and death; no suffering and no beginning and no ending of suffering, no path; no wisdom and no attainment with nothing to attain.
Therefore, the Bodhisattvas rely on Prajna-Paramita, the most excellent wisdom, and with no hindrance of mind, no fears and no illusions, they enter into Nirvana. All Buddhas from the past present and future practice in this way and awake to complete and perfect enlightenment.
Therefore, know that the Prajna-Paramita is the great bright mantra, the great transcendent mantra that relieves all suffering. Know this as truth and declare:
Gone, Gone, Gone Beyond, Gone Far Beyond, Be Set Upon Awakening!
Great Heart of Transcendent Wisdom Sutra
