Change your Brainwaves, Change your Karma: Nichiren Buddhism 3.1 (Nichiren Buddhism of the 21st Century)

I Was able to sit in on a the Zoom Meeting on this material and study. I have introducte it to my friends and many in San Antonio Texas. Great solid information in a new light.

This is books has literally changed my life. Helping me understand my brain, helps me to not be controlled by my thoughts. This books discussing the power or chanting. Nam Myoho Renge Kyo!

If you're like me, and like knowing how and why things work the way they do, then this book is for you. Not only do the authors explain the mechanics of Nichiren Buddhist practice, but they peel back the curtain to reveal how Nichiren Buddhist practice, chanting Daimoku (Nam[u] Myoho Renge Kyo) affects the human brain. It is a wonderful explanation of how and why Nichiren Buddhism positively affects our lives, karma, and environments based on current scientific theories and experimentation. While the book does include a small bit of "new age" fluff, even that is in keeping with the directions in which scientific theory and experimentation are currently headed. The book is totally devoid of the superstitions of Middle Ages spirituality, and blends modern scientific theories of consciousness, neuro-physiology, brainwaves, brainwave synchronization, and much, much more, into a spiritually coherent whole. Heck, the authors actually offer themselves as guinea pigs for various experiments being done by a number of scientific outfits in Europe studying these very things! Even though the scholar/authors hail from a particular school of Nichiren Buddhism (SGI), the book is blessedly non-sectarian in tone, as the authors only concern if for their their quest for truth. Highly Recommended!

This book is great. I’m reading it for the second time, and I have sent this book to five friends. The best part of this book is that it motivates me to chant. I find meditation difficult, so chanting appeals to me as a practice to benefit my life and bring benefit to friends and family. YouTube.com has Daimoku videos that I use to chant.

This book helped me understand and believe that the state of enlightenment, of Buddhahood, is a very real and achievable state. The authors make the case that while chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, with focus and determination, we can achieve this state, and that once in that state, beyond our ego, beyond our subconscious, we can break through seemingly intractable problems, overcome health issues, relationship problems, and fulfill our goals and aspirations. They use discoveries in neuroscience as well as theories and discoveries in quantum science, to help explain enlightenment from a different perspective. In the past, while reading Nichiren's letters, or the writings of Daisaku Ikeda, I've tended to skim over references to our Buddhahood... to the fact that we are entities of the mystic law... that we are a microcosm of the limitless macrocosm. It all sounded very grand and beautiful - but somehow too abstract or elusive. This book makes it real. I've gone back and re-read Nichiren's letters, and Mr Ikeda's writings with fresh eyes.

I found this book to be filled with inspiring insight that seems based in scientific research. I have been an SGI Nichiren Buddhist practitioner for over 35 years, and was in need of re-empowerment! lol. For me, viewing this powerful practice from a neuroscience perspective has (yet again) boosted my confidence in my ability to positively affect my environment and my life. Thanks!

I love this book! I have been chanting for 44 years, and have experienced tremendous benefits through this practice, however in the last few years I began feeling as I was stuck in a funnel with no exit! The book clearly explains why and how we can get unstuck. It helped me see inside this beautiful “maze” I call my life, and made me aware of how many suppressed feelings I had bottled up, which were the reason for my anxiety to resurface! This book is truly an inspiration and liberating! Thank you Susanne Mastsudo-Kiliani and Yukio Matsudo.

Excellent read, I really loved it. Susanne and Yukio made a wonderful job explaining how our minds, our brains and our bodies behave physiologically while chanting Daimoku, and how that process releases our past emotional blockages and dissolves those energies, so that we can start from scratch building and reaching our dreams

It's a great book especially for people who like to know why they do something. If you are chanting, what scientific backings are there which make chanting effective.

All my understanding of consciousness and connecting the dots b3tween Joe dispenza Bruce liston Deepak chopra, meditations and the daimoku boosted and verified-thank u

The authors have clearly explained the scientific basis behind the philosophy of NMRK and why / how it works. I have been an SGI Buddhist for over two decades and have enjoyed chanting. This book has inspired and enthused me to chant even more, given all the proven scientific benefits for my body, mind and environment. Has been an amazing read, invaluable collection to my Buddhist library. A big thank you to the authors!Having completed this book, I am now on my way to reading the other two books in the series, 3.0 and 4.0 written by the same authors.
