After ZAZEN (siting meditation) we do a ceromony where we chant the Heart Sutra – MAKA HANNYA HARAMITA SHIN GYO, one of the main Sutras of MAHAYANA Buddhism.
MAKAHANNYAHARAMITA HEART SUTRA
When the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara
Was coursing in deep Hannya Haramita,
He percieved that all five skandhas are empty ,
Thereby transcending all sufferings.
