Video clip description

Nam My?h? Renge Ky? (???????, also transliterated Namu My?h? Renge Ky?; literally translated as Devotion to the Law of the Lotus Flower Scripture and exegetically translated as Devotion to the Mystic Law of cause and effect that exists throughout all the sounds and vibrations of the universe) is a mantra that is chanted as the central practice of all forms of Nichiren Buddhism. The mantra is referred to as Daimoku (??, or the Great Invocation) and was first revealed by the Japanese Buddhist teacher Nichiren on the 28th day of the fourth lunar month of 1253 AD at Kiyosumi-dera (also, Seich?ji) near Kominato in current-day Chiba, Japan. The practice of chanting the daimoku is called sh?dai (??). The purpose of chanting daimoku is to attain perfect and complete awakening, and have actual proof of this practice to oneself and others of the validity of the Lotus Sutra. The phrase is somewhat difficult to render into English because each word or set of words contains a complex set of symbolism and connotation, and without an understanding of the semiotic significance of the words, the full meaning is lost. 4.50 / 5 | 326 | 0 (06:13) : RobbieBobbyBoy : Buddhists Chanting Gakki Ho Kyo Nam Nicherin Renge Soka Yo  : People & Stories
