Nichiren Buddhism Daimoku Videos.

Daimoku 題目 is a Japanese word that simply means "The Title" of a Buddhist Sutra, especially the sino-japanese title of the Lotus Sutra; 妙法蓮華經 {myo ho ren ge kyo}. A devotional mantra is formed by adding Namah / Namo  南無 {Nan Mu} in front of the name of a divine being or a scripture. Namo or namah means roughly the same thing as the Latin word "Ave" or "Hail!" So the Daimoku.of the Lotus Sutra,  Namu Myoho Renge Kyo, simply means "Hail Lotus Sutra!"

A more detailed exegesis of the words in the title can helps us understand the deeper meaning.  Myoho = Wondrous Dharma. Renge = the Lotus Flower. Kyo = Sutra; a discourse. Myoho Remge Kyo is a vocalization of the Wondrous Dharma to which the Buddha awoke.
