Do you know the warning signs you are battling fundamental darkness? Today we are going to identify the internal weaknesses which can affect our practice and sometimes make us stop chanting altogether, so you can recognize them when they come up. They will. It happens to everyone.
Very nice and concise. Thank you.
Thanks Jenny. let me know if there are topics you’d like to see discussed.
Margaret
Thank you Margaret! Always appreciate your wisdom!
Thanks Catherine. I’d be interested in hearing about topics you would like to see discussed.
Margaret
Thank you so much Margaret! Beautifully explained. Pls explain our connection with the Gohonzon, why is it important to have faith in the Gohonzon. What is Exactly the Gohonzon means. Thanks
Thank you for the suggestion. I will do it but it will be a little while. Important topic.
Margaret
Thanks Margaret .. a very important topic that you have shared. Not knowingly, members can fall into fundamental darkness. Let’s share and give one another encouragement..
Absolutely. that’s why it’s so important to be connected with your district. When we fall 8into fundamental darkness, our good friends can pull us out.
Margaret
Absolutely. that’s why it’s so important to stay close to your district.
Thank you so much for sharing about battling your fundamental darkness, This past month i felt like after 40 years of practice packing up my Gohonzon and simply walking away and abandoning my district but your post really hit home, I plan from this day forward with renewed faith to continue practicing and with a better understanding of m own fundamental darkness. Again thank you
Wonderful. Hanging there. We all have to battle it.
Margaret
I’m so glad you are going to hang in there.
Margaret
I will answer your question in the next couple of months. great question.

Ty for clarifying how fundamental darkness & devilsh functions vie to disrupt a practitioner every second . We sometimes when entrenched in them can’t see clearly , but when we use the sharp sword of faith & the Gohonzon we breakthrough every time & turn our poison into medicine . Which is exactly what I have done , and the more I succeed in helping others the more the devilish functions vie to disrupt . But they are no match for the Gohonzon & NMRK 🙏

Margaret
So appreciative of your continuing faith and understanding. Very precise. Have heard this offered before. Will continue to emerge!! Thanks
Thanks.
Margaret
Thank You Margaret. I love your blogs and a life line as I am sole practitioner on St Helena island at the moment and battling illness and FD. I stopped chanting for a week and felt very down. Im back now amd aiming to chant with more focus and determination. I miss my district a lot!
It is a challenge being all alone. I’m glad you’re chanting again.
Beautiful explanation
Thank you for your teaching. It makes so much cense the things you mentioned . I am alway sick I have a cough that does not goes away . I think I must do something to get rid of some negative feelings hoping I can cured my self. Thanks
Good idea and chant for perfect health also.
Thank you for this because suddenly I’ve been feeling despair and I’ve been chanting consistently everyday. I wrote 2 goals. One is a financial goal and other is for Kosen Rufu. Today for some reason I’m feeling all this guilt around not visiting my family or I don’t have any friends, so ya I’m feeling lonely too. With covid still around we only have Zoom meetings and I’m also a recovering addict and it’s challenging to find a meeting online or a physical meeting, I’m at lose right now.
Lastly can someone explain pursuing wealth and fame. Because I’ve been grinding it for the past 3 or 4 months to learn a new skill in marketing and make a living from it and that in it’s self is challenging. Can I chant about a financial goal without it being about wealth and fame.
Hi Ron,
Of course you can. Chant for exactly what you want.
Hi Ron,
Of course you can. Just chant for what you want.

Hi..it’s great to listen to your blogs. Am applying the teachings.Right now am facing huge financial karma and health Karma.My son has Rickets. Confused about my career.
Need a guidance from you.
I answer questions about the practice through email.
I have read this several times before and once again, reading it has produced such value. Fear is to be transformed. Trust is to be developed. After nearly 28 years of practise, here I am again. Just as you thought you’d nailed it, it smacks you in the face again. More work to be done, using the present circumstances to fuel my rocket of faith.
Good for you.
thank you
Thank you Margaret I am battling with 2 very different problems one of which I have been battling for over 2 years. I am becoming down because it is taking so long and I am not young and see my life drifting without ever being able to get resolution. I have watched your video and made notes and downloaded the transcript
I am determined to turn this situation around
The other problem is new but is resolvable but both are affecting my emotions so I have to work so hard to harness my emotions into positivity. Thank you
