Nam Myoho Renge Kyo 🌸

Thank you very much 🙏

A piece from a new autobiography titled: Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within... Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave. The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist. For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment. The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing. The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlie all spiritual and physical existence. The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law which allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists. Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment of time than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’. On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication. For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, or producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything. NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result from any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things in a conventional way - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life - including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream - already exists within us.

잇찌랭선생님최고

I’m currently in SGI but I feel Nichiren Shosu have more traditions I like. But with my husband being Christian and them not liking inner faith marriages “same sex marriage” I don’t feel I would be welcomed :( and the there gongyo is so much longer then ours.

Je suis au Congo Brazzaville, j'aimerais le version française

I suggest you to correct your mistake, Shakyamuni Buddha body was born in Nepal, not in India and it was 2600 years ago.

No he was born in Nepal,lumbini not India

FAITH JULIA GOLDY!!!

My most humble respects to Nichiren Shonin, but I believe he is a Bhodisattava, not the Buddha. We already have Shakyamuni Buddha in our universe sadhu.

What about interfaith marriages ? If your partner isn’t willing to convert but is supportive and encourages you to chant

The music ruins any credibility it may have had.

Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha, is in Nepal. ना मु म्यो हो रेन् के क्यो। なむみょほれんげきょ！

How can you say that buddha was born in india..I think you have to research carefully before making any documentry video about lord buddha..and kapilvastu lumbini is in Nepal.

I found my problem as baby girl ..my mother..my father . .and the unlove the prince buda as muslim sirian yemeni saudi

Buddha was born in nepal called kapilbastu, lumbini not in india.

南無妙法蓮華経🌍南無妙法蓮華経

I feel this needs to be updated in the end. That temple was destroyed, bull dozed, by the high priest in 1992 or thereabouts.

Sakyamuni was born in NEPAL not in INDIA be sure before you make the videos.

Don't distort history. Buddha was born in Nepal.

Unlike some others here, I have serious questions about the quality of this video. Even though the narrator is obviously western (American?), this is a thoroughly Japanese production which, as well as being of poor quality, regretfully, misses the wider audience of people who know nothing about Nichiren Buddhism. Just a quick look at those who commented shows this to be so. We can and shall do better.

I like your video however please correct Budhha was born in Kapilvastu Nepal not in India. This can hurt Nepalese sentiments

THIS BOOK DESCRIBE THE XX AND XXI CENTURY ..MY FAMILY AND OSAMA BIM LADEN IN THE SECOND IMPORTANT VISIT AS PROFETH

What about his wife and son 😂

This is a Nichiren Shoshu interpretation. HBS holds a more orthodox view. Maitreya is the Buddha to come. Nichiren often writes, 'I am just an ignorant ordinary man.' In his latter life, his writings further the idea that he himself begins to see parallels between his life and that described in the Lotus Sutra as the Buddha of the degenerated age. Study the goshos and decide for yourself. The retributions Nichiren received during his time certainly were bad, but compared to the sufferings all humans have endured, it is not that convincing to warrant the title of the True Buddha in the Latter day. Namu Myoho Renge Kyo Worship only the Eternal Buddha not man.

There were no country called india at that time 🤔. But kapilvastu lies in Nepal 🤔.wtf

See I Pet Goat 2!!

i want to correct that Buddha was born in Nepal not in India...information about the birth of buddha is given completely wrong in this video....if you are conveying false information then you are against buddhism....people who come to find truth must be able to accept the truth...so reseach on it first and find the true knowledge.....otherwise you are just wasting your time....

I couldn't listen to this, because of the ridiculous music in the background. What a waste of an opportunity, when people are interested, to make it impossible to hear the message. 😐

Oh my Godness you don't where Buddha born and you are making documentry about him, what a shame he is born in Nepal Lumbini.

The same people who mock Christian's for praying to their God have no trouble with muttering an obscure incantation in front of a piece of paper for hour's on end in the belief that it will magically provide them with great wealth, a luxury vehicle, beautiful mistress, etc.

Sakyamuni buddha was born in Lumbini located in Nepal and NOT in India. Please correct it.

Thank you
