A frequent question our Chief Priest receives from guests and students when they visit our Buddhist Temple is:
Is chanting the same as meditation?
Yes and no. This Saturday, our Chief Priest will be explaining the answer to this question and why we chant Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. If you have explored meditation, it is important that you learn more about chanting at our Buddhist Temple.
