A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'...
My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' - resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to my NDE...
Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave.
The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist.
For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is.
Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment.
The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing.
The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence.
The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists.
Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’.
On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication.
For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything.
NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.
@tyamada21, what a profound exploration of the essence of Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and its impact on understanding the unified field of consciousness! Your experiences and insights offer a unique perspective on how direct engagement with our inner selves through this chant can lead to a deeper understanding of our existence and relationship with the universe. Thank you for sharing this deep spiritual connection and the power of vibrational energy in accessing and transforming our inner and outer worlds. Let's continue to explore and share the profound truths of our existence! 🌌✨

I understand your English very well. Thank you ❤
Hello @mohamedfarou1367! I'm so happy to hear that you understood my English well. Thank you for your support and love! ❤ If you need anything or have any questions, feel free to ask. 🙏😊
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am pleased to hear your words I want to commit to meditation What do you advise me I love Vipassana Follow the breathing
@@mohamedfarou1367 Hello @mohamedfarou1367,
I’m so glad to hear that you’re interested in meditation! Committing to a practice like Vipassana can be truly transformative. Here are a few tips to help you on your journey:
Start with Short Sessions: Begin with just 5-10 minutes a day. Gradually increase the duration as you become more comfortable with the practice.
Find a Quiet Space: Choose a quiet and comfortable place where you won’t be disturbed. It helps to create a calm environment.
Focus on Your Breath: In Vipassana, the breath is your anchor. Pay attention to the natural flow of your breath, observing it without trying to control it.
Be Patient and Gentle: It's normal for your mind to wander. When you notice this happening, gently bring your focus back to your breath without judgment.
Consistency is Key: Try to meditate at the same time every day. This builds a routine and helps integrate meditation into your daily life.
Consider a Guided Session: If you’re new to meditation, guided sessions can be very helpful. Apps like Insight Timer or UA-cam have many free resources.
Join a Community: Meditation can sometimes feel challenging in isolation. Joining a meditation group or attending a Vipassana retreat can provide support and deepen your practice.
Remember, the journey of meditation is deeply personal and evolves over time. Be kind to yourself and enjoy the process of discovery.
Wishing you peace and clarity on your path!
Warm regards

If you want go beyond the mind.. look directly for it...even in the mind free bliss.. consciousness is pure.. still.. what is seeing this experience happening to the being... Is there.. the unnamed unseen formless one sees the consciousness having experience.. but is unmoved..non centered.. its been named awareness.. but has no name or form.. the only thing u can not remove...
The nameless formless timeless deathless no one at zero
@FORMLESS_reality, beautifully said! To seek the mind directly is to dive deep into pure consciousness, where even in mind-free happiness, the essence of being watches the experience unfold. The formless, nameless witness observing all. Let’s continue this journey into the depths of awareness together! 🌟✨

The true purpose of meditation - - all actions have a purpose except meditation. Meditation has to be an act of purposelessness as it is an antidote to cycles of habitual mental activities which justify their existences by a sense of purpose. (even though their purposes are often absurd)
Hi @TheHeinrichSymposium folks! 🌿🧘♂️
What a profound and inspiring reflection! 👏✨ I totally agree! Meditation invites us to simply be, without the need for a defined goal. It's like a break from the constant stream of thoughts and goals that push us forward. It’s a chance to free ourselves from the incessant cycles of “doing” and just connect with the present moment.
This “purposeless act” is exactly what helps us recalibrate and find clarity in the chaos of everyday life. It's like a breather for the mind, a true antidote to the usual frenzy. 🌀💫
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful perspective! Let's continue exploring this journey of self-awareness and presence. If you have more insights or want to talk more about meditation and its benefits, I'm here! 🌟🙏
