This wais database utilises a translation from Japanese prepared
in the 1960s by R.Aitken and E.Shimano for the Diamond Sangha Zen
Buddhist Society, Koko An, 2119 Kaloa Way, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA
96822. Their translation was subsequently re-printed in a book:
Daily Sutras for Chanting and Recitation. n.d. New York: New York
Zendo of the Zen Studies Society Inc.

In December 1991 the Aitken-Shimano's translation was revised by
Robert Aitken Roshi and incorporated (under its japanese title
'Shodoka') into a collection of the Daily Zen Sutras in use by
the Diamond Sangha itself as well as by other affiliated Zen
centers and communities, including the California Diamond Sangha;
Sydney Zen Center and the Zen Group of Western Australia.
