In today’s world, we see every next person going through different challenges, be it emotional, financial, physical. Breakdown of relationships, money shortage, physical damage, social or mental abuse is so common these days. Whatever challenge it may ultimately lead to mental stress, anxiety, breathing issues, lack of concentration, emotional breakdown, and many such hardships so on and so forth.
When a person is bleak and feeling low from inside, he finds himself all alone. For him, he has no interest in leading a happy life. He has lost all his goals and motives, remains in a depressed state, and is aloof of the world. And as it is truly said what you give to the world reciprocates. When a person wants to be alone, he is himself pushing everyone away, no one actually wants to stay clingy to such negative surroundings for long.
So, what is the mantra behind staying calm and focused when we are going through such storms in our life when we see no way out and have literally given up on life. How to be optimistic and still have faith.
You must have heard about Gautam Buddha and his preaching. He is an embodiment of wisdom, calm, and compassion. He was the one who started Indian based religion named Buddhism, which was not just limited to people in India, but it got spread worldwide. After his death, his disciples took over and started with the organization named Soka Gakkai (SGI) which aimed at spreading this law of Buddhism to each and every household to reduce people’s suffering and give them hope to fight all their problems and be a victor. This came to be known as Nichirin Daishonin’s Buddhism.
One basically needs to chant this mantra “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” wholeheartedly praying to the Gohonzon which is the scripture written in Chinese characters. It is said the most earnestly prayed wishes to the Gohonzon never go unanswered. Chanting this powerful mantra activates the buddha nature within us and gives us the enlightenment to take our decisions wisely. It gives us an abundance of hope and courage that things will not be gloomy always. It tells that we ourself is the power that can change the world can turn around all the things that are bothering us through our wisdom and calmness. But one needs to have undaunted faith, chant abundant Daimoku, and study more about this beautiful philosophy. These three pillars of faith, practice, and study are interdependent and are the foundation of one's path to attain Buddhahood.
Remember, whatever you give to the universe reflects back on you!
