The quote is from Dogen's Fukanzazengi or Universal Instructions for Zazen. It is chanted every night in Soto Zen Temples.
People talk about how, when they first heard the Heart Sutra, they knew it was right and felt it in their hearts etc etc. Well, not me. For me, this was what got me. To me it has everything in it. I was lucky enough to, on my own, study it pretty throughly. In addition to many of the resources I had access to, this commentary was very good too.
I don't know a lot, but I do know that this chant struck a deep cord in me. Sometimes hearing truth's can do that, and I will never forget it. And I enjoy sharing this with people, but I try to walk a line to not get into a masterbatory argument.
