摩訶般若波羅蜜多心経―大いなる心の手放し方
The Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore
(Thich Nhat Hanh英訳　plumvillage.or...)
観自在菩薩・行深般若波羅蜜多時、照見五蘊皆空、度一切苦厄。
―観自在という菩薩が、完全な思いの手放し（般若波羅蜜多）を実践していた時、はっきりと見てとった：五蘊（色・受・想・行・識）がすべて空であることを。そうして彼は一切の悩み苦しみから自由になった。
Avalokiteshvara, while practicing deeply with the Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore, suddenly discovered that all of the five Skandhas are equally empty, and with this realisation he overcame all Ill-being.

I'm into Korea-Japan-China too, but for that I need to get Theravada out of the way I think :))

And here's one secret: memorize those two: Song of Zazen & The Heart Sutra. Then chant them

Enlightenment. Do not think you have it. I think the question whether I have it or not should be immediately cast out of the way.
