Ralph Quinlan Forde sings the prajnaparamita mantra to a Celtic air. There is a lot of evidence that Celtic Christianity was influenced by Buddhism. <br /><br />"Since there is no obscuration of mind, there is no fear. They transcend falsity and attain complete nirvana. All the buddhas of the three times, by means of prajnaparamita, fully awaken to unsurpassable, true, complete enlightenment. Therefore, the great mantra of prajnaparamita, the mantra of great insight, the unsurpassed mantra, the unequaled mantra, the mantra that calms all suffering, should be known as truth, since there is no deception. The prajnaparamita mantra is said in this way:<br /><br />OM GATE GATE PARAGATE PARASAMGATE BODHI SVAHA<br /><br />Thus, Shariputra, the bodhisattva mahasattva should train in the profound prajnaparamita."<br /><br />The Heart Sutra
