Om namo rama om
The lyrics of Zen's song Mantra consist solely of the repetition of the phrase "Om namo rama om". This is a common Hindu mantra that is often used in meditation or prayer. Mantras are believed to have spiritual or psychological powers, and repeating mantras is thought to have a calming or centering effect on the mind and body. The mantra "Om namo rama om" specifically is said to honor the Hindu deity Lord Rama, who is considered to be the seventh avatar of the god Vishnu.
The repetition of this mantra in Zen's song creates a hypnotic, meditative mood, allowing the listener to focus on the sound and vibration of the words rather than their traditional meaning. By doing so, the listener is able to attain a sense of peace and tranquility. The use of this mantra as the sole lyrics of the song emphasizes the power of words and the importance of repetition in creating a peaceful, meditative state of mind.

日本では般若心経はすごく身近です。私も両親の墓の前や、日本の大地震で亡くなった方々を鎮魂するために、般若心経を繰り返し唱えたりしています。
般若心経は、通常あまり音程を上げ下げしないように唱えることが良いとされていますが、彼女のように歌うように般若心経を唱えるのもよいと思います。
私の経験ですが・・・般若心経を何度も唱えることによって、時には、いくつもの魂（霊）が近づいてくる気配を感じたりします。
最初は恐怖を感じたりしますが、すぐに慣れてきます。
般若心経を唱えながら観察すると、魂（霊）たちは般若心経を懐かしむように、耳を澄ましている聞いている気配さえ感じたりします。
そんな時、私には般若心経を唱えていても恐怖はなく、肉体を持たない者たちのために何度も般若心経を繰り返したくなるのです。
生きるものと死んだ者たちが、般若心経を介して同じ次元に集まるのです。そして、般若心経と共に穏やかな時間が過ぎていくのです。
In Japan, the Heart Sutra is very familiar. I also chant the Heart Sutra repeatedly at my parents' graves and in order to repose the souls of those who died in the great earthquake in Japan,3.11,2011.
It is usually said that it is good to chant the Heart Sutra without raising or lowering the pitch too much, but I think it is also good to chant the Heart Sutra like she sings.
In my experience, by chanting the Heart Sutra over and over, I sometimes feel that several souls (spirits) are approaching me.
It can be scary at first, but you get used to it quickly.
When observing while chanting the Heart Sutra, souls (spirits) feel nostalgic for the Heart Sutra, and even feel that they are listening.
At such times, I have no fear of chanting the Heart Sutra, but rather want to repeat it over and over again for the benefit of those who have no physical body.
Through the Heart Sutra, the living and the dead gather at the same level. And the peaceful time passes with Heart Sutra.

I left too and embraced the religion of my ancestors which are Jewish with some Asian connections way back. Coming across the mystical branch of Judaism know as Chasidic philosophy or Kabbalah which amazingly shares many of the same precepts found in Buddha teaching.
Reincarnation etc.
The problem I found with the C. religion is has a tendency to get people because of their hurt places to make everything in faith all about them - me, me, and more me - what I want, what I need, I need victory, I need this, I need that, I need God.
In Judaism I saw a totally different perspective that put my needs in balance. God needs me. I am God’s servant and servant of others. I have a God I can serve, instead of a God who serves me. The truth that God is One and we are all a part of the One.
I can takes parts of the C. And the J. religion and put them into perspective with the Messiah who is the Supreme Buddha and relate His sacrifice to “religion” fulfilling the Temple sacrifices representing death to ego/self selfishness.
Now I am embracing Buddhism, not as a religion but a philosophy of living that embraces everything in the Torah and in the N.T. instructing us in the Buddha way to live. It’s there. The emptiness of self with the joy of the energy of Creation/Creator flowing in emptiness with all openness to possibilities. Really appreciating life, others in forgiveness and non judgment. Religion has a tendency to produce judgment of differences. Judgment comes from ego and need.
Having said all this I believe we are all on a journey to truth and a personal learning curve and all religion has some truth making it possible for those who embrace it to mature spiritually. I hope you enjoyed my sharing. Kol Tov - which means wish for you all the best (in Hebrew). Shalom and Namaste beloved one.

Huge thanks an blessings guys.

THE HEART OF PRAJNA PARAMITA SUTRA
般若波羅蜜多經的核心
When Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva was practicing the profound prajna paramita, he illuminated the five skandhas and saw that they are all empty, and he crossed beyond all suffering and difficulty.
Shariputra, form does not differ from emptiness; emptiness does not differ from form. Form itself is emptiness; emptiness itself is form. So, too, are feeling, cognition, formation, and consciousness.
Shariputra, all dharmas are empty of characteristics. They are not produced, not destroyed, not defiled, not pure; and they neither increase nor diminish. Therefore, in emptiness there is no form, feeling, cognition, formation, or consciousness; no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, or mind; no sights, sounds, smells, tastes, objects of touch, or dharmas; no field of the eyes up to and including no field of mind consciousness; and no ignorance or ending of ignorance, up to and including no old age and death or ending of old age and death. There is no suffering , no accumulating, no extinction, no way, no understanding and no attaining.
Because nothing is attained, the Bodhisattva through reliance on prajna paramita is unimpeded in his mind. Because there is no impediment, he is not afraid, and he leaves distorted dream-thinking far behind. Ultimately Nirvana!
All Buddhas of the three periods of time attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi through reliance on prajna paramita. Therefore, know that prajna paramita is a great spiritual mantra, a great bright mantra, a supreme mantra, an unequalled mantra. It can remove all suffering; it is genuine and not false. That is why the mantra of prajna paramita was spoken. Recite it like this: Gaté gaté paragaté parasamgaté bodhi svaha!

Thank you Tinna. This is Japanese pronunciation. Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra is very popular in Japan. It is wonderful that China, Taiwan, Korea, Viet Nam, and Japan can share the same text and the same ideas. I pay my respect to Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty, who brought and translated Sanskrit scriptures from distant India.
Tinnaに感謝します。これは日本の発音ですね。摩訶般若波羅蜜多心経は日本でとても人気があります。中国、台湾、韓国、越南、日本で同じ文章と同じ思想を共有できることはすばらしいことです。遠い印度から梵語経典を運び翻訳した唐の玄奘三蔵法師に敬意を表します。
@kenjia.busybee8192
I think all those countries you mentioned translated from the the Chinese version.
