Prayers

I was always agnostic when it came to religions and all the numerous deities in the world. Still am. For almost 2 decades my understanding of prayers was that it is a selfish act of begging to the deities for various desires. Bribing gods with promises, rituals and sacrificial presents.

Then enters Nichiren Buddhism.

I discovered that there are 2 kinds of prayers. One which I just described and the 2nd one which is a prayer to our internal and eternal SELF. Our own Buddha-hood. The former is dependent on an external form of deity, the latter is self empowering.

Have you ever seen those meditation charts in yoga centers where they show that every human has 7 spiritual chakras. I believe that chanting Nam myoho renge kyo, gets these chakras in us moving in the direction of the mystic cosmic spiritual energies. It makes our life force stronger by acquiring more of spiritual cosmic energies.

 
Nichiren Buddhism is the key to unlocking that potential
