Know Why It's Important to Master Your Mind?

Today we discuss why it's important to master the mind and one thing you can do to move in that direction.

[@margaretblaine5367]

I understand. But whether a family member or not, we suffer bad karma because of causes made in the past, causes we probably won't remember as they may have occurred in other lifetimes. so chant to the Gohonzon with a deep apology for any past slander you may have committed and commit yourself to work for kosen-rufu. Devote yourself to activities. This is how to remove bad karma. Our tendency is to blame the other person for their bad behavior as we are suffering, but as long as you are looking at them they will not change, which is what has been happening. We have to look at our own life and change our attitude first. Then a change will occur in the other person according to the Buddhist principle of oneness of self and environment.

The participation of the cat is absolutely adorable! Thank you.

She's a sweetheart.

[@margaretblaine5367]

Nichiren never instructed people on how long to chant. You should chant until you feel satisfied. You may find when you have a real challenge that chanting longer makes a difference. I have found that when i chanted an hour in the morning my life moved along faster. but it is up to you.

Dear Margaret, thank you so very much for these videos!!

[@margaretblaine5367]

Glad you're finding the videos useful. My kitten, Sasha, is 51/2 months and is my purr baby. She has brought a lot of laughter into the house and we are really enjoying her. All of our cats are rescues but the other two will never be lap cats. I've never seen anything in the gosho about pets. It's great you have Petal. Eenjoy your day Daniela.

A month ago, a persian male, Zaaru came into our lives from nowhere. We are really excited to have him. But since I have never owned a cat before, I find it hard to look after him. For the past few days he has gotten really aggressive. I need guidance on this. I want the best life for him.

[@margaretblaine5367]

Dear Margaret, You are one of a kind ! I started my practice in 2017 and somehow I was able to discover your videos only two weeks ago! I consider it benefit! Take care of yourself ! I am now a subscriber and an active listener! I will share your videos with others members or not! Also how is the new kitten? I always wondered what if or is there anything the Gosho says about animals or pets? Always wondered if Nichiren ever gave wisdom on this or perhaps President Ikeda has mentioned guidance on having pets. I have a 15 year old blind & deaf dog named Petal. I got her through chanting! Her name is Petal as (Petal from the Lotus) she’s my first dog I have owned on my own feb. 2018 is when I adopted her. Petal has been by my side through much adversity (cleaning lots of karma up) I am grateful for her ! Enjoy your day Margaret! Best, ⭐️❤️🙋🏽‍♀️🐶🇷🇴☀️🌎

[@margaretblaine5367]

Good. I'm glad it helps.

[@vinayakjain7018]

I feel very positive when I see your videos,it encourage me lot THANKS A LOT 🤝

[@Vartikas.illustrations]

I love all your videos. Thank you so much for such deep insights about the practice. I have been four months into the practice. There’s one thing that confuses me a lot as I don’t understand the meaning of it in all it’s entirety, i.e; the practitioners say that one must put in many hours into chanting each day only then the results will be visible. Whereas I also have read that just saying “nam myo ho renge kyo” once can open an ocean of good fortune then why 10 minutes of chanting each day is not enough?

[@borutoseaccha]

Your videos are very inspiring. Thanks.

[@pradnyaramteke2348]

[@joeyouk]

Margaret, when focusing on your goal, don't forget to focus on your kitten : )

[@margaretblaine5367]

Enjoy your new baby.

[@urvishprajapati1373]

Hello Margaret, thank you for all your videos ..I listen to it for guidance, I myself in this beautiful philosophy and practice. Can you please put some guidance on how to deal with or over come office politics. I am from India regards Urvish .. it seems I have a bad Job karma, please advise

[@margaretblaine5367]

Keep chanting until you achieve your goal. How are you chanting about it?

[@victorcampozano8952]

I have chanted to have a beautiful loving relationship with this man that I am really attracted too for about 8 years. I have taken action with him in so many ways letting him know my interest. We work together in the same place. My intention to have not materialized Should I keep on chanting about it or should I stop?

[@nataliea5570]

Hello Margaret, I am chanting for someone to leave my families lives ... this person has made such bad causes that are unbelievable. Even my Buddhist friends agree chanting for this person to leave is the best option. Iam not getting any results and it seems the total opposite is happening. Please can you advise me xxx

[@margaretblaine5367]

You are trying to deal with the effect rather than the cause. Go to my video called difficult Family Karma? How to Change it. It's about 20 down the list. It will explain how to handle it. Let me know what happens.

[@nataliea5570]

Hiya, I listed.. the person is not a family member though. I want them to leave our lives as they are have been abusive. I have taken all the correct actions Ie court, telling the authorities but no evidence and the courts not taking the case seriously enough .. I want to chant for them to leave as it’s effecting my child. I’ve been chanting for almost 1 year with no results

[@urbighosh1894]

How can I reach out to you? I really need guidance. Is there an email ID?
