Not that one. The Lotus sutra is associated with SGI in my mind.  They're 
sort of the Japanese version of the Moonies.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soka_Gakkai

Sometimes at the end of a long hike when my mind is wandering 'Gate, Gate, 
Paragate, Parasamgate, Bodhi Svaha!' fills the void. It's the mantra at 
the end of the Heart sutra. I guess it's sort of like Thich Nhat Hanh's 
walking meditation.

Technically the Heart is the summation of a huge body of literature that 
handle the disagreements of the major schools. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prajnaparamita

Like the Jesus prayer the mantra invokes the whole deal.
