Our temple’s prayer is “Chanting Namu Myoho Renge Kyo.It may seem like simply repeating the same thing, Namu-Myoho-Renge-Kyo, but it is not. When we chant Namu-Myoho-Renge-Kyo with all our hearts, our ego-consciousness is transcended and we become one with the Eternal Buddha, the Odaimoku, a message from the Eternal Buddha, wells up in us living in the present moment.
