Chanting

Chanting is another form of meditation. It is meditation with sound. When you chant, just be one with the sound and do not attach to meaning. After the opening bow, we chant the Gatha of Repentance and then either the Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra or Ennmei Jukku Kannon Gyo. These are traditional Zen Buddhist verses that point to the heart of the practice. Chant sheets can be found under your mat (zabuton) or chair.
