Hi, Iʼm reading this book and wanted to share this quote with you.
"the quality of our life condition—whether high or low—can cause us to make the best of the worst, or the worst of the best. That's where the power of chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo comes in. The concise meaning of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is: "Devotion to the Mystic Law of the Lotus Sutra." A more intricate meaning of this phrase is revealed by looking at each of its elements: Nam Pronounced with a soft a like the a in father Myo Sounds like adding an m to the first half of yo-yo Ho Pronounced the same as the garden tool hoe Ren Sounds like the bird wren Ge Like the word get without the t Kyo Like adding a k to the first half of yo-yo Nam means "devoting oneself." Myoho means "Mystic Law," with myo indicating life's mystic essence, and ho representing its manifestations. Myoho expresses the fundamental life force of the universe. Next, renge means "lotus flower," expressing cause and effect, since lotus plants bring forth their blossoms and seedpods simultaneously. Renge also indicates the Lotus Sutra. Finally, kyo has multiple layers of significance, including the teachings of Buddha and sound vibration. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo can be more colorfully interpreted as: "I devote myself to the universal Mystic Law of cause and effect through the sound vibration of Buddha wisdom." Think of the act of chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo as a kind of spiritual workout. You've probably noticed that some people only need to work out a little to stay in good physical shape, while others need to exercise a lot to stay fit. I believe it's the same for spiritual fitness." (from "Happiness Becomes You: A guide to changing your life for good" by Tina Turner)
