 | | Kyo literally means sutra, the voice or teaching of a Buddha. | | | The word nam derives from Sanskrit, a close translation of its meaning is "to devote oneself." Nichiren established the chanting of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo as a means to enable all people to put their lives in harmony or rhythm with the law of life, or Dharma. | | | Myoho literally means the Mystic Law, and expresses the relationship between the life inherent in the universe and the many different ways this life expresses itself. |

| | Cris Roman - Chapter 3 |
| | Therefore he placed Nam before its title to affirm that devotion to the sutra& teachings was the key to enlightenment. | | | The word Nam is an abbreviated form of the Sanskrit word, Namaste, that can translate as “devotion.” Nam of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo means devotion to the Lotus Sutra or, more precisely, the teachings of and principles contained in that sutra. | | | Naturally, because this is a religion, it is to be fervently hoped that faith and belief develop in time. |

| | The Lotus Sutra's essence (Nam Myoho Renge Kyo) is the teacher of all Buddhas, past, present and future. | | | When we chant, with each repetition of Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, we are rooting ourselves deeper in faith and deeper in the spiritual tradition of the Lotus Sutra. | | | When we chant Nam Myoho Renge Kyo we are strengthening our connection to and learning from the teacher of all Buddhas. |

| | Chanting Nam- Myoho-Renge-Kyo exercises the innate capacity to perceive this essence of life. | | | In terms of the meaning of Nam- Myoho-Renge-Kyo, "Nam" indicates a person's decision to practice Buddhism; in other words, to dedicate oneself to "awakening to this truth." As Nichiren Daishonin states, | | | "Myoho-renge-kyo" is the title of the Lotus Sutra, the "essential" teaching of Buddhism, while "Nam" indicates devotion to the essential teaching of "Myoho-Renge-Kyo." |

| | The word "Nam" originally derives from Sanskrit, and the Sanskrit pronunciation is "namas"(Japanese namu). | | | As ‑a result, we read the word "Nam" in the original Sanskrit pronunciation, while the phrase "Myoho ‑Renge ‑Kyo" is read in its translated form derived from the meaning of the original words. | | | The phrase "Myoho ‑Renge ‑Kyo " is the most appropriate translation of the original title by Kumarajiva, and because of this, it is Von." On the other hand, "Nam" ‑ viewed from the perspective that its original Sanskrit word namas' contains a truly profound meaning ‑remains as it is, un-translated ("uhon). |
