Cynthia, What you chant doesnt make any difference. Nonsense syllables are best so you wont be tempted to try to think about what they mean while youre chanting. There should be no intent behind chanting. You chant to chant. Just like you sit (zazen) to sit. There should be no intent, no motive, no goal, nothing to understand.
When I chant, I chant the second to the last line of the Heart Sutra: Gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha. Bill!

Sorry. Too many materialists have spoiled that rather clichéd chant. Looking for something new that can't be used for greedy gain.
