What a truly amazing lens! I wish I could bless it more than once. I meditate, so I have used this chant and others. I'm not Buddhist, but very attracted to Hinduism and India having studied Ayurvedic Medicine. I meditate with mantras...and do Kriya Yoga. Anyway enjoyed listening to Tina!!! That was mind blowing! and of course, Olivia!

I think it is therapeutic once you get over feeling a bit of a twit! I learnt this chant a few years back. I am currently listening to the Aum sound. I'd be interested on your views on each one.

Thank you for the break down of this chant- I will enjoy doing it much more now that I have a western meaning for each word. Great lens, nice layout. Namaste!

If you understand the meaning of the chants and are feeling the sensations as in Vipassana, it is all the more beneficial and effective.

I always love to listen to the chanting of the monks. It is so calming and brings me to be in touch with what is deep within me.

I found this very interesting. I used to be very skeptical about chants, but when i tried them i found them very moving.

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.

Its blissful to chant Nam yoho renge kyo

Reply

CardLady Dec 16, 2008 @ 12:10 am | in reply to Leah | delete

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

Hi Pascale,

There's many people out there who chant. You could find some through the SGI website. Here's a link, just put your Zip Code within the US.

Hi CardLady, Nice Nam Myoho Renge Kyo lens. It feels good in the manipura chakra. I chanted along with the monk vid :) I really like it. Love the music too. ~Music Resource~
