Hello xenusfreeman,

Some time ago, when I was a Soto Zen practitioner we used to chant the whole Genjo Koan and the Sandokai in Japanese language and even when at the very beginning of doing this I didn't understand what was I chanting, the feeling of something beautiful was there. The phrases that were sung made the mind and the whole environment a peaceful place in order to start meditation.
