Japanese scroll translations?

[opr1945106]

I have now acquired 6 scrolls with Kanji writing. The rest are pictures. I am interested in learning approximately what they say in English, Posting them here and asking someone here to provide me with a general idea of what they say seems a burden on others and presumptuous of me. The only alternative that I can think of is perhaps to inquire of a Japanese Embassy if someone would be willing to do that.

Anyone have other suggestions? I believe I have ended to purchase more scrolls. I seem to have move on to wood carvings.

Thanks.

What I have is a picture of the scroll. not individual characters. I don't know how to post the picture in google translate. It seems to want characters. I don't have that font on my laptop. Perhaps I don't understand how google translate works?

How do I get the characters into google translate?

Thanks.

Okay I found this on line:

The Heart Sutra is a classic Buddhist scripture that conveys the idea that reality is permeated by compassion and wisdom, and that conventional concepts and extreme views should be negated. The sutra's main theme is "anatta", which translates to "emptiness". The Heart Sutra's message is that everything in the world is interdependent and has no independent essence, and that we should not believe what we do, say, or feel.

I do not understand "...we should not believe what we do, say, or feel." ????

And this:

When we read the Heart Sutra it sounds nuts, but that is actually where the wisdom part comes in.​

The Heart Sutra Will Change You Forever

Penetrate the true meaning of the Heart Sutra, says Karl Brunnhölzl, and nothing will be the same again. The secret is making it personal.

For What It Is Worth: My wife loves the appearance of the scroll.

This is how I did it...

1. Double click your attachment and save as a WEBP file on my desktop.
2. Upload and convert saved WEBP file to JPG here.
3. Save this converted JPG file to my desktop.
4. Upload this JPG file to google translate images.
5. Save this translated JPG file to my desktop.
6. Upload this JPG to MT as an attachment.
