With 2 weeks left until New Year's Day 2017, I am calling for a 280+ Inconspicuous Daimoku challenge. Inconspicuous Daimoku is Daimoku that is not for any goal, desire, or need. It is simply chanting Daimoku. The purpose of this is to help you achieve benefits. As Nichiren said in his letter, "Letter to the Lay Priest Domyo": Concerning prayer, there are conspicuous prayer and conspicuous response, conspicuous prayer and inconspicuous response, inconspicuous prayer and inconspicuous response, and inconspicuous prayer and conspicuous response. But the only essential part is that, if you believe in this sutra, all your desires will be fulfilled in both the present and future.
The idea is that everyday you chant at least 20 times inconspicuous Daimoku. I've been doing it throughout this year, and as a result, I have achieved bouts of clarity which has helped me understand myself better, and undergo human revolutions which led to tangible breakthroughs. I am certain that it will work for all those who endeavor to do it. And by work, I mean in terms of achieving clarity which will result in the changing of your thought pattern, which will result in the changing of your words, which will result in the changing of your actions Thus, your results will be different. If you wish to do more than 20 inconspicuous Daimokus, be my guest. The more you do, the better. SO let's give it a try. Oh, and share this challenge to as many people as you want.
