Don't stop chanting when battling darkness.

[@debralee1401]

Dear Margaret, your guidance is a lifeline and an inspiration. Thank you!!!

[@margaretblaine5367]

No one has faith at the beginning. Have you set a goal that is a stretch and committed to chanting for it for 90 days? We build faith by using the practice to overcome obstacles and achieve goals. Make sure you set a concrete, positive goal so you will know when you get it. I have written a book, for newcomers, Your Path to Unshakeable Happiness. It has a lot of the basics and shows how we use the practice.You can get the digital version from my website, www.margaretblaine.com. Take a look at my video, 21 down the list, Why it Is Important to Have Faith in the Gohonzon. Congratulations on starting the practice. You've done something wonderful for your life.

Really glad I found you. I'm just starting again. I started in 1985 and practiced hard and did shakubuku and had a lot of fortune, but I really fell away and have been living with terrible depression and fear for too long. I am determined to get better.

Hello. Nichiren Shonin taught of awareness from cause and effect. The power from chanting brings out your awareness from everything in daily life. This is how the power works.🙍Japan.

[@margaretblaine5367]

I agree, it is harder. Living in an endangered area, it becomes important to chant for protection. Anyone can only do the best they can. But those of us who are not endangered can certainly chant for them.

Thank you very much for this! I see you so many more videos- I subscribed and will go through the lot. Very clear, good tone- emotionally...inspiring!

[@uttaraasthana504]

How do we fight hunger and thirst in areas such as Iraq or hurricane stricken? How can we continue to chant on empty stomach? Surely it’s not easy for any of them living there, whose lives are 100 times more endangered.

[@lifechoices6643]

Is the so-called darkness ever there? I was helped enormously by a video of yours on the theme that the universe is always communicating with us.We dismiss the ideas.

[@margaretblaine5367]

It's when you feel totally cut off from that communication that you are battling fundamental darkness.

it's important to keep them in mind.

[@archnamitroo579]

I have been seeing your videos a lot and i really want to thank you for this effort. Every word you say strengthens my faith and i have been able to pull myself out of lower worlds I do have a question. When i chant i end up sleeping and sometimes i dream unconnected things. Then i wake up on my own and continue chanting. It just keeps repeating. What should i do. I don’t want to sleep while i chant

[@iamhere7629]

Hello. Magaret. This is my second name. I came to Japan in 1979 and then got married .Since then i took faith in The Gohonzon in Soka Gakkai through Nichiren Shoshu. I did practice so sincerely for 13 years until the problems came up with Soka and Shoshu. I am always so happy all my life but from 30 years ago until today my doupts from me arise every time. Who are talking and teaching the true about the practice between Soka and Shoshu from Nichiren Shonin? Now i stop and visit a Shu temple and i give up there too. I dont know the more practicing there are interfering working and stop me from my practicing.Japan.🙍

[@margaretblaine5367]

If you go to sgi-usa.org to the bookstore which is listed on the bottom of the home page, there is a phamplet written by the reformist priests called Inside the Nichiren Shoshu Priesthood. It describes what happened, so you can draw your own conclusions and settle your doubts.

[@iamhere7629]

Hello. Thank you. I know what happened through Soka and Shoshu . Yes it was a hard time. Well lets forget about it. I just want to talk about Nichiren Shonin because Nichiren Shonin did not truly said where it is real to practice but only Chanting is the basic practice for anyone. Q. What made you feel this chanting is powerfull ect. Here in Japan many people stop and many people think Nichiren Shonin himself might be wrong ...43 years i did chanted it but the more chanting there are many obstacles comming. Stop chanting nothing happend and comming up. So this is why i became so confused. I would like to hear your experiences.🙍🤗Japan.

[@devyanidharamadhikari4631]

Hello... I have a doubt... I have recently introduced my friend to the practice... He wants to practice but he says that why should I practice this philosophy only? What's so special about it? In India we have many gods and many sutras... So how should I adress this

[@margaretblaine5367]

Have him do a 30 day experiment. But don't do anything else during the 30 days so he'll clearly see what the results are. Have him set a goal and chant for it 10-15 minutes a day for 30 days. If, at the end of that time, he wants to try somethig else that is up to him but if he does, have him try the new one by itself too.

Will chanting in mind will help? Or need to have sound chanting?

[@justinb4219]

Thanks 😉

[@margaretblaine5367]

We all need to remember these warning signs, I think.

[@dioncallewaert1046]

Should I chant until it hits my charlatans then focus o specific prayers?

[@margaretblaine5367]

I don't understand the question.

[@JyoSco007]

Fundamental darkness -- isn't it an oxymoron?
