To me, this book is the definitive work in our series. It reveals the final key to understanding why and how Daimoku transforms and heals our minds, bodies, and lives.
The book explores the transformative power of mantra, sound, resonance, and consciousness—through conversations with the world‑renowned mantra singer Krishna Das, who has introduced millions of people to mantra practice, and with acoustic researcher John Stuart Reid, whose work in the field of cymatics has gained international attention and became widely known through platforms such as Gaia.
John Stuart Reid’s research makes visible how sound shapes geometric patterns in matter and acts as an organizing force. His experiments with sound, resonance, and vibration form an essential foundation for the understanding of music, mantra, and consciousness that unfolds throughout this book.
A Conversation with Krishna Das
As our research into heart coherence, heart rate variability (HRV), and the spiritual significance of the heart deepened, Nichiren’s statement that “the heart is what matters most” began to take on a new meaning for us. At the same time, the wish arose to speak with someone who has dedicated his life to mantra as sound, music, and a practice of the heart. This search led us to Krishna Das.
A Conversation with John Stuart Reid After the previous chapter, we wished to explore several questions with John that had remained open, including: what gives the human voice its unique therapeutic power—especially in comparison with music or sounds we hear from the outside; why the human voice can help dissolve and re‑pattern deeply stored emotional imprints; how sound and the human voice can influence biological processes or even reprogram DNA expression; and what role intention plays during chanting in processes of transformation and healing.
We are an independent research institute
for developing
a bridge between the wisdom of Nichiren Buddhism and
new scientific approaches.
