To tap into the deepest levels of existence and to awaken our inner buddha nature.

Also the more you chant it the less time you have for actions which are not buddhist.

I sensed there were Nichiren Buddhists about. I'm glad to hear from you.

I'm not a buddhist, although I am a pacifist, atheist, and would go vegetarian if I wanted. I feel the ideology is well worth study. Yes, I do meditate, I don't chant though, I simply focus on my breath and try to keep my mind clear. by the way, proper meditation technique gets you high as a kite.

I don't follow whatever religion that's from but my GUESS is it is some kind of mantra to clear your mind and focus on God. But I know those aren't just random words , they mean something and can be translated into English.

I don't chant it, but I've been asked to drum an accompaniment to it for Kirtan groups.
