What is the origin of the Heart Sutra exorcism?

Post by Nalanda »

I can only find Lopez' work on this in his book and he said that it lacks Indian roots but Nyingma claims Indian roots nevertheless.

On the other hand, a Nyingma monk told me that it came from Buddha Sakyamuni and it's in the sutras. What sutra is this? I mean the particular name of Sutra in our Nyingma collection?

I believe it's in the last volume of the Kangyur, the gZungs bsDus (Compendium of Dharani).
