Listen while you read the info on this page
hen we chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, we are not petitioning or beseeching an external being to act in our favor. Rather, we are repeatedly sending out an expression of our determined intention as we bring forth from within ourselves our highest life potential. Our elevated life-state, in turn, elicits the environment's-indeed the entire universe's-support for our aims, and causes to arise within us the wisdom to take the best course of action for achieving the objective of our chanting. ~~Beginning Your Practice

THE LOTUS SUTRA
What follows is a brief and unavoidably limited explanation of some of the key concepts expressed by this phrase.
NAM
MYOHO
RENGE
Renge means lotus flower. The lotus blooms and produces seeds at the same time, and thus represents the simultaneity of cause and effect. The circumstances and quality of our individual lives are determined by the causes and effects, both good and bad, that we accumulate (through our thoughts, words and actions) at each moment. This is called our "karma." The law of cause and effect explains that we each have personal responsibility for our own destiny. We create our destiny and we can change it. The most powerful cause we can make is to chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo; the effect of Buddhahood is simultaneously created in the depths of our life and will definitely manifest in time.The lotus flower grows and blooms in a muddy pond, and yet remains pristine and free from any defilement, symbolizing the emergence of Buddhahood from within the life of an ordinary person.

- I know nothing of chants. I would assume they are a type of affirmation, but more effective, because of the concentration required and the vibrations produced. I find your lens very intriguing. 5 Stars and I will return.

- Leah,
Why do we chant diamoku (Nam Myho Renge Kyo)? And why do we not get what we are chanting for? I think most people ask this question at some point. I know I did. And the answer was simple. My mentor told me that I was not chanting correctly. I was chanting but I was not chanting for what I wanted. I was chanting without intention.
"When we chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, we are not petitioning or beseeching an external being to act in our favor. Rather, we are repeatedly sending out an expression of our determined intention as we bring forth from within ourselves our highest life potential. Our elevated life-state, in turn, elicits the environment's-indeed the entire universe's-support for our aims, and causes to arise within us the wisdom to take the best course of action for achieving the objective of our chanting." ~~Beginning Your Practice
