  • The Universe, according to Buddha, is governed by one single umbrella law based on the science and

    rhythm of cause and effect, and he said that mankind would eventually prove this.

    This law which should be chanted by the human voice is called; Nam Myoho Renge Kyo.

    By chanting aloud every day for at least 10 minutes, one can put oneself into perfect rhythm with the

    Universe, and therby gain insights, wisdom, energy, happiness and benefits that would be otherwise not be available to us.

  • Nichiren Daishonin writes: "The sun, moon, and myriad stars are found in one's life'.

    The entire universe exists within us.

    And the Mystic Law of Nam Myoho Renge Kyo expresses the ultimate essence or truth of our lives.

    Indeed, those who uphold the Mystic Law are the world's foremost philosophers".

    (The mystic law is expressed by chanting NAM-MYOHO-RENGE-KYO daily)

  • Hi iscorpio,

    Could you please let me know the best way to chant these mantras & how many times these need to be chanted?

    Also, do I need to say these mantras just audible to myself or can it also be chanted just in the heart?

    Thx-Renu

  • Been chanting 23 years and l must correct you: the correct term is Dai-Gohonzon which is the original Gohonzon housed in Japan. This was a creative way to show others the power of this practice. The most important element is faith - if you simply say the words you will receive benefit however, to change your negative karma effectively you must believe in the power of your life which inherently is Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. Doctors said l would never bear children. My sons are now 13 & 11!

  • GREAT VIDEO!

  • Hi. my name Gina, when I was a little girl there was a lady that taught about buddhist chanting it really worked for me,, then my parent moved me to Indiana where I lost all connection with buddhist chanting, no one here has heard of this.. I would so like to get back in to this for I know this helped me.. Is there anyway i could contact information... my e-mail is lydeanaguthrie@att.net... thank you so much I really hope you can help...

  • did her fall out the window? I've been chanting for 28 years and never fell out a window!

  • hi. I love the SGI. I love chanting nam-myoho-renge-kyo.

    but, I think that if you have a life-threatening situation like a leg-infection, please go to the doctor immediately. please chant on the way to the hospital. please take care of your body.

    thank you. =)

  • hey do remember faith practice and study .........towords kosen rufu(world peace) and victory is yours

  • wow, asom!

    nice style!

  • debraange @iscorpio

    Hi Debra,

    Yes you are right. On my knowledge, the Nichiren buddhism is the only major religion which doesnt despise the mundane desires. More than that, considers it steps to enlightment ! So go on, the only condition is to focus visualy on Gohonzon while reciting Daimoku with high determination.

    By the way, I am a jazz fan too :)

  • wow..rlyy nice.

    :) me also a memebr of SGI INDIA..

  • I don't even want to imagine where my life would be right now without nam-myoho-renge-kyo...

  • @iscorpio

    thanks for that answer, i've only just started chanting and i wasn't to sure if my mind should be blank? while chanting, but images flicker through and i visualise how i'd like my life and career and health to be. Am i right to?

  • great editing

  • Ok, so its just more like a tool to help you with the meditation, just like focusing on your breath for example ?

  • This is not the case of the nichiren's odaimoku, the concept of using words just as a meditation tool are more common to theravada sect of buddhism. Nicheren tends to regard the chanting of odaimoku as being something powerful, magical and healing and savior.

  • I am new to Buddhist Chanting. I am excited to see you can use this chant in healing. As a Reiki Healer I will try this.

    Namaste

  • Is the consept of this just to say thouse words over and over again ? nothing more ?

  • @yellowcakecrew Yes, there is gongyo,. but the biggest part is Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. We have an object of devotion we chant before, like a mirror of our lives called the Zai Gohonzon inscribed by Nichiren. We concentrate on Study and Practice. Practice is chanting and helping new people learn. This adds value to your karma. Basis of all Buddhism = 4 noble truths and the eightfold path. Wiki it.

  • thanks for that

  • @azmildman no meditation involvement?

  • May I join, to heal up my knee before Monday? Moday's a big day for me. I have am Aikido Seminar at Chicago. I live in Buckner, Missouri. I can not travel anywhere before Monday we are saving up money for the trip. And I would like to learn the chant with you two also.

  • omg! quite funny wat i see, not bad u had a nice taken video! make sure chant more Daimoku when we are free. Think of Gohonzon whenever we are jz like a friend to us! Thank you

  • I have been in Buddhism since 86, there's been alot of trials and tribulations in this particular sect of buddhism. Even if you don't agree with the Gakkai, which I always don't, I still chant and practice. You don't need the SGI organization to keep your practice going.

  • Thanks for the comment. I agree.

  • At 1:45, I hope you took the sticker off the apple before you ate it. ;) (Kidding!) Hehe...

  • People often say "Chant 4 what ever u need"

    Well that sounds easy. 2 begin is easy 2 continue is difficult. Everyday is a struggle between the best of ourselves & the worst, when we chant we begin 2 see clearly... We become confident 4 life. When I first started 2 say Nam-myoho-renge-kyo I treated it like an experiment. I thought I'll chant 4 one week, 30 mins every morning & I promised myself that if I didn't see results then I would stop. I haven't stopped.

  • Same here, IO (& for me it started more than 30 years ago...) - I really like your perspective. I hope everyone who sees this video takes the opportunity to discover the power of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, the power stored in the depths of each of our lives... Speaking of which, I'm off to chant - Happy Thanksgiving!

  • That movie was so sweet. I love the apple eating sounds..and the bell

  • Interesting video... continue sowing the ruin for your life.. poor of you!

  • Cute movie. I'm getting back into my chanting. It does work!!!

  • great job

  • What a lovely video! :)

  • In komeito party are member that don'tpratice Soka Gakkai Buddishm

  • I could've done without the voice at the end. The most important thing is exposure. What should matter is that we're all improved through our rituals. If one's religion makes them a better person, the rest shouldn't matter. "Scary cult invasion" is just ridiculous.

  • Um.... well that was weird! Not sure what else to say but.... I'll give it 4 stars for being interesting in a strange way!

  • Souka-Gakkai is doing environmental disruption in Japan. The overexploitation is New-Koumei party's policy, especially fat ugly man Fuyushiba.

    SGI-believers in U.S. are helping extermination of many animals and plants of Japan indirectly.

  • This is all nonsense. There are quite a few comments being left on youtube recently by followers of Richard Koshimizu, a Japanese extremist who, among other things, believes that the Soka Gakkai is part of a North Korean plot to destroy Japan.

    In a sense you could say that the purpose of SGI and of Nichiren Buddhism is to enable people to conquer their own fears so that they will not be liable to be taken in by this kind of stuff.

  • What I had said was about 道路特定財源 "particular tax for roads".

    It is policy that constructs useless road destroying beautiful nature. And, it is funds that destroy historical scenery that UNESCO is planning as World Heritage. The destroyer is minister of land & traffic, Tetsuzou Fuyushiba. The ministry of land & traffic is also constructing dams that kill many animals, birds and many plants.

    New Koumei is doing such absurd action with fascist LDP.

  • Komeito is not the Soka Gakkai. I've already explained this to you.

    From what I can gather on the web, the government has just said it will keep the road tax as it is; the opposition wants to reduce it. I can find no reference in English to exstinctions etc apart from your own.

    You seem to be implying that any politician anywhere who fails to curb road-building is an unspeakable fiend. This is a rather extreme point of view, isn't it?

  • "Komeito is not the Soka Gakkai. I've already explained this to you." I'm sorry but these repeated statements meant to distance Soka from New Komeito (a political party in Japan usually identified as center-right that supported the U.S. led Iraq invasion and have recently supported a nationalistic renaming of a holiday honoring Emporer Hirohito) really cannot withstand much scrutiny: "the Soka Gakkai constitutes the largest single support group of New Komeito." - FAQ New Komeito website

  • New Komeito voiced opposition, for instance, to sending Aegis cruisers to the Indian Ocean in 2002 lest they be used to assist the invasion of Iraq. However it accepted such decisions as a member of the ruling coalition. Presumably it reasoned that by staying within the coalition it would be able at least to wield some influence. As a consequence it has, not surprisingly, alienated many of its core voters who feel that it has abandoned its pacifist principles and sold out.

  • I didn't know about the Hirohito holiday. Apparently the DPJ also supported this, making the vote close to unanimous. I agree that that is deplorable.

    When NK says the SG is its "largest single support group", I presume they must mean at a grass roots level. The SG does not fund NK, their adminstrations are strictly separated, and I understand that it is forbidden to canvas for NK at SG activities. There are periodic liaison meetings, which are reported in SGI press releases.

  • mantr comes from 2 root words mana+tr meaning mind-device(or way). unless used properly they hold no effect. repeating such chants vocally, eventually, may lead to a form of sleep. actual point is to subject them to the mind so that the mind has only one subject to ponder upon(ie. mantr). once reached a point which is not definite, this last block of thought can be blown away, the individual who walks this path knows when it happens n then everything stops...umm, yes, everything looses tension

  • Daisaku Ikeda has never said a word against the death penalty that is in Japan.Soka Gakkai has the political party called Komeito who has been the "king maker" at the last election won by Kaizumi government who endorse Bush's wars worldwide.

  • As you already know, because I have said this before to you, Ikeda's abhorrence of homicide is well known. He discussed capital punishment at some length in his dialogue with Arnold Toynbee. Komeito was separated from the Soka Gakkai around 1970 in order that SG not get mired in party politics. If Ikeda took a stance on too many "political" issues, that would put pressure on SG members to conform, which would be oppressive and discourage members from forming their own opinions on such matters.

  • Nam-myoho-renge-kyo

  • nice klip

  • The teachings of Niciren and the Lotus SUtra emcompass all of the teachings, even those the Dahla Lama is upholding, one of the main teachings is that Myoho (the mystic law) is not to be saught out of oneself, where as in esoteric teachings, like tibetan buddhism, its is believe that enlightenment is found thru and external entitty as the Lama himself (which is merely a title, like king, lord, buddha etc)

  • the Dahli Lama has been to my town to council people, though i practice Nichiren, i respect the man,,but anymore that i would respect ghandki,kind, or ikeda

  • When the Dalai Lama recently visited Japan, did President Ikeda meet with him, and if not, why?

  • i'm not sure but i doubt it b/c the Dalai Lama practices a different Buddhism. Nam myoho renge kyo is the teaching from the last of the Buddha's works. The Dalai Lama practices an inferior Buddhism according to the Lotus Sutra.

  • what is all the fuss about? exposure to the mystic law is the important thing. lets go 23,000 views!

  • THANKS... WELL DONE!! Great way to connect with youth...

  • i ned me a healer that looks like that

  • meeeeeeee to

  • Tehere is no even one evidence that shows Makiguchi and Toda was putted in (jail)for theyr pacifism.All the scholars know they were imprisoned because theyr refusal to be unified with the others Nichiren schools

  • that was sweet!! thank u

  • now thats what i call the Soka Gakai spirit !

    using such Video is good to promote SGI and bring a whole new younger generation to follow the teachings of Nichiren daishonin

    and one day the whole world may be enlightend as Daisaku Ikeda , Josei TOda and the honorable President Makaguchi

  • i agree, may we all be enlightened.

  • sorry but the meaning of komeito does not equal to war but 'clean government'.

    Our 3 successive presidents all went to jail for protesting against war, for protecting the livelihood and happiness of the common people, for wanting countries of the world to live in harmony. How then can this be an act of barbarian and war?

    who can ever stand up for their ideals and perservere on, even to the extend of going to jail?

    i cant, either.. pls think about it again.. =)

  • Komeito has been the hly wild card that has pernitted the right wing to win in Japan , and it's one of the political party who has voted for the military mission in Iraq and for the helps to the Bush foreigner politics.

  • and tha Komeito has declared to want to change the Japan Costitution in order to get again an Army of offence to help the war against "the rogue nations".

    That's the true

  • and , the former presidents were under arrest not for being pacifist , but for pure religions reasons.Read this by specialist searching for (on the web):

    "engaged buddhism , a skeleton in the closet"by Brian Daizen Victoria (University of Adelaide) , then in his articol watch the page about Makiguchi.

  • Soka=Komeito=War

  • Nam Myoho Renge Kyo is not the only path to enlightentment, but it surely is a way. For example, it is impossible for me to attend or practice Nichiren, but I do Chinese martial arts and zen meditation. Saying that Nichiren is the only way tto truth is equivalent to being a fundamentalist christian. OM MANI PADME HUM, NAM MYOHO RENGE KYO. I'm an atheistic person.

  • Very cute video. Im going to my first Buddhist meeting/meditation/chant tonight- I can't wait!

  • How was your meeting? I'll be going to my first real soon. I went to the SGI in my area and chanted for the first time 2 days ago. It was cool. I can't wait for my meeting!

  • Yes. That was really good!

  • This is just so 'cute' i love and exceptionaly clever..

  • Keep them coming! Look at mine also. upnadam2create, I am n Hope district in Norman, Oklahoma. Also, give me ideas if you have more for other videos, I hope to do more youtubes for our district. Adam

  • my best friend just became an SGI buddhist. I went to a meeting. They chant these four words for hours.

  • wait until you see all the positive ways your best friend's life is affected@ Very cool!!! If you have any questions I will answer...

  • Very cool... I like how you used the colors and very little audio... good job!
