My good girlfriend just introduced me to this Buddhist chant. I have done Hindu chants/mantras, so I already know the science and philosophy behind them. And yeah they do work. It’s all about the sound as sound is the fundamental thing in the universe. It permeates your being, your chakras, subconscious, and essence and transforms your life. She gave an example on how this chant has helped her numerous times. When she first moved out to Los Angeles, she moved in with her boyfriend. That didn’t work out so she needed to live elsewhere. Well thru chanting, she eventually got a good place with another girl (which actually is my friend from college). Then her job came next, and her current employer, Honda, found her…so she didn’t even need to apply to them. And now she has a great new car when before she had to ride the bus for hours to get around. Really it’s an inspiring story.
I believe everything happens for a reason and the fact that she gave this to me especially at this point in my life where I’m seeking change is quite significant. And I found this chant on youtube with Tina Turner doing it. And boy was I blown away. I felt tingling on my body. Then when I finally did it myself, I felt its power. There’s definitely a divine energy within those sounds. Here’s a nice video chant of NAM MYOHO RENGE KYO.
I really like this mantra, as you said it’s powerful.
Everytime I’m doing it I feel all the power of it going through my body, it’s pretty amazing.
I’m going to apply this mantra to my situation, and use all its power to guide me in my decisions.
The example of your friend is really inspiring, and I see as a very good sign to be introduce to the NAM MYOHO RENGE KYO chant at this time in my life where I need guidance.
I truly believe in the power of sound, and all the different techniques that use it. It is working for me, and I just hope for more people to become open to it.
Keep writing your blog, I love it.
