Cloudy mind Vs Clear mind

Dear all of you who choose to read my blog,

Bear with me as today I divert from my usual topics and write about something else.

The mind is like crystal clear water, pure, still and deep. Thoughts that arise from this quality of mind rise fast to the surface. But how do we cultivate such a mind. How do we slice through the irrelevant accrual around it? The cloudy veils that dull perception, that deflect pure sincere thought?

Meditation helps one focus on what is essential to well--being, and what is mired in greed, selfishness, personal aggrandizement, anger and so on.

Buddhist chanting " Nam Myo Hon Renge Kyon" advocated in Nicheren Diashonin's " Buddhism in Daily life is a technique to uncover this pure mind.

Chanting unleashes one's ichinen and creates the reality we truly desire.

To understand ichinen and " nam myo ho renge kyo" please visit the Soka Gakkai website. Be firm in your resolve to be happy and you will.
