“spoken+power+meditation”
“Why is my life boring?”“Why me?”“Why am I like this?”“Why is life so unfair?”“Why is life so hard?”“What can I do about it?”“How can I be smarter?”These questions express people’s real pain and uncertainty about the circumstances and tendencies they can’tseem to get out of. Chronically asking the why and feeling cheated keeps a person trapped in thosecircumstances and suffering.
The greatest secret human power is to develop happy alternativesaccording to ones own potential. The knowledge of how to do this isnormally found in bits and pieces in many spoken and written sources.Here, the essence is unified into a single practice that enables anyone tomanifest hiser power.
Nichiren, in thirteenth century Japan, connected all the dots. He recognized that the way to use the secret power was to move on with determination to clear the mind and improve life. To enable the clearing of the mind andreplacing error with wisdom, the element of focus, determination, respect had to be added to Myoho RengeKyo. He used the Sanskrit term namas, shortened to nam.This activates the secret power and makes it public.What Isaac Newton did for gravity, Nichiren did for all of life.I have listed the main points and the words in Japanese. They are capitalized for clarity.1-Things are always changing, yet the underlying realities common to all life do not change. -KYO2- -Causes produce effects. Sometimes this is not obvious because of the time lag between cause and perceivedeffect. RENGE -Renge also means that we can choose to release limitations at any time like the opening of a perfect lotus growing in mud.3-Life is both physical and non-physical. –MYOHO This is the term that includes the limited aspect of thetangible and the unlimited aspects of the intangible, and their inseparability.4-Humans have the ability to respect the truth, to focus their minds, and achieve great results. -NAMThe transcendence of circumstances is founded on the repeated speaking of the sentence Nam Myoho RengeKyo alone, and with others. This strengthens synaptic connections based on recognized truth and weakens those based on distortions. The mind-heart-body is unified in the effort. Nichiren’s method works for all of life, whether people believe in it, or not, as long as they try it with a focus onimprovement.
