POWER OF DAIMOKU (Chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo)
“If you underestimate the power of Daimoku and use other strategies you will lose in the end. You can accumulate good fortune only when you fight for the Kosen-Rufu without begrudging your life. Unless your prayers are united, your fight for Kosen-Rufu cannot gain momentum. No matter what anybody says, or does, nothing can defeat the power of Daimoku. But without action, you cannot call it faith. The Gohonzon can penetrate through everything.
The world of faith is very mystic and once you become serious, you can gain 1000 or 10000 times more benefits. When you chant abundant Daimoku, you have the power to open even the heaviest iron-door that stands in your way i.e, you can overcome the most massive obstacles in your life. You can definitely change your negative karma. The world of faith is the place where many of us, all of us chant powerful Daimoku in unity, thus creating power like the force of a huge wind. There is nothing but Daimoku determines everything. It has more power than 1 million guidance or a million books of philosophy.
Chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo
Chant abundant Daimoku and pray to the Gohonzon. Ask the Gohonzon whatever you need. Everything will come true as you wish and the path of Kosen-Rufu will open up in front of you. Everything depends upon how much Daimoku you chant. When you chant a lot of Daimoku, you will naturally feel that you need to study more. When you chant Daimoku, your work will become more fulfilling.
There may be times that you will experience great sufferings and deep sorrow. There may be nights when tears will not stop flowing. There may also be times when you are terribly hurt. At such times my heart will be open to you. I am always here to listen to you. I, too, will share tears with you. You don’t need to tell me anything if you are happy. I can tell just by looking at your face. Just tell me about the problems and pains that you have. I will carry half of your heavy burden and walk together with you.”
