Many people, including some of my family members and SSA members were literally jumping for joy whenever they encounter some mundane articles speaking about meditation being a cure for cancer, and alluding that it has a similar effect of the chanting of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. Or could they be thinking that the chanting of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like meditation? However, I maintain that they are not the same! To say or allude that they are the same is tantamount to saying that one could very well achieve a transformation of their karma through any chant other than Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, so long as they promote a meditation-like practice. Nothing could be further from the truth!
In this time of Mappo, only invocating (chanting) the name of the universal mystic law is powerful enough to break the shackles of heavy karma that we have created since time without beginning.
