How did you get into chanting? It sounds like fun. Any resources you can recommend?

Funny, I never chanted until recently. I liked the Chant of Metta, partly because someone set it to nice music. It's actually quite lovely.

Pali-only version:

SGI members chant "Nam Myoho Renge Kyo", which is the name of the Lotus Sutra. The idea behind this short chant is to encapsulate the liberative message of the Sutra and to bring forth the "Buddha Inside".

More here, if you're interested:

These are the only ones I am familiar with.
