Shodaigyo The practice of Odaimoku Chanting

At Nichiren Shu Churches and Temples a form of meditation called Shodaigyo is practiced on a regular basis along with other types of services. Shodaigyo is a practice of chanting Odaimoku. There are several styles of service in the Nichiren Shu, Shodaigyo is one of these styles. Please check with your local Church or Temple for times and to learn this practice.

An example of a Shodaigyo service is as follows:

RAIHAI (a deep bow preparing oneself to receive the Buddha and his teachings)

DOJOKAN (Meditation on the Throne of Enlightenment)

HONMON SANKI (Taking refuge in the Three Treasures, Buddha, Dharma and Samgha represented here by Nichiren Shonin)

JOSHINGYO (a few minutes of silent meditation to cleanse and bring harmony to the Body and Mind)

SHOSHOGYO (Odaimoku chanting)

JINSHINGYO (a few minutes of silent meditation to reflect on the Odaimoku and the merits received)

PRAYER (dedication of the merits received to family, friends and all the beings of the universe)

BODHISATVA VOW'S

Sentient beings are innumerable; I vow to save them all.

Our evil desires are inexhaustible; I vow to quench them all.

The Buddha's teachings are immeasurable; I vow to study them all.

The way of the Buddha is unexcelled; I vow to attain the path sublime.

RAIHAI (a deep bow in appreciation for the merits received and the chance to practice the Dharma)
