Neither a person nor the aggregates, the Buddha, is knowledge free from [evil] outflows
Clearly perceiving [him] to be eternally serene, I go for refuge [in him]

The original album of the track is "Sound of Peace" (2013).

But Ironically, I encountered the track in the compilation album "Sex and the Chill: Sexy Lounge Tunes for Your Sensual Moments" :thinking:

I am not sure why the compiler thought the Heart sutra would be helpful in having sex :shrug:

Also, Imee Ooi is divine. But I don't consider her pop.
Equanimity is the ground. Love is the moisture. Compassion is the seed. Bodhicitta is the result.

-Paraphrase of Khensur Rinpoche Lobsang Tsephel citing the Guhyasamaja Tantra

"All memories and thoughts are the union of emptiness and knowing, the Mind.
Without attachment, self-liberating, like a snake in a knot.
Through the qualities of meditating in that way,
Mental obscurations are purified and the dharmakaya is attained."

As regards pronunciation, does anyone know if Imee Ooi is working with some particular version of the Heart Sutra? It sounds quite different from the saṁkṣiptamātṛkā one in the Mahāyāna-sūtra-saṁgrahaḥ ( part 1).
