Buddha Nature & Awakening

What does it really mean to practice Buddhism in everyday life?In this episode of Awakening Process 101, we talk about Louise’s more than 20-year practice of Nichiren Buddhismand how chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo became her form of active meditation.We talk about how Louise first found Buddhism, why she initially resisted chanting, and how the practice gradually became an anchor in her life. Together, we explore Buddha nature, awakening, mindfulness, inner peace, happiness, self-awareness, and human revolution—the Buddhist idea that meaningful change in the world begins with change within ourselves.We also explore the similarities between Buddhist philosophy, yoga, meditation, and nondual Tantra, and how these different traditions can help us move beyond our habitual thoughts and reactions and return to a deeper awareness of ourselves.Whether or not Buddhism or chanting is your practice, we come back to a simple question: What helps you come back to yourself?
