Buddhist Chanting of the Lotus Dharma Sutra

Buddhism - Awakening the mind to affect our daily life. The illusions of self and identity, constructed of craving, are constructs of a deluded imagination and end with the death of this body. The “body” of all things is a temporary apparatus for the perception of the process. Our minds are an emergent property of that bodily apparatus providing for us a unique opportunity to observe the very process from which all phenomena are temporarily formed or instantiated in a process that is ultimately temporary itself. This opportunity is as precious as it is fleeting, and not to be wasted on distractions. Through invoking the Dharma Law of NaMu MyoHo RenGe Kyo, we begin to experience our Buddha-ness, all the Buddha’s Teachings and embark  on the 8th-fold Noble Path of the Bodhisattva way, realizing a deep insight, cessating and Liberating from our cravings, in order to attain quiescent mindfulness and a complete understanding in this life with 9th - Amala Consciousness (Myo). The purpose of Buddhism is that the more we can awaken those other sentient minds around us, the larger our consciousness of awakening can nurture amazement and equanimity in our moment-to moment existence.
