How to find inner peace? Is following the teachings of Nichiren Buddha: a way to transform the definition of Karma? Can we blend Spirituality with materialism in our daily life?
Spirituality makes us oblivious to the luxuries of the body. Materialism makes us neglect the spirit. Is it possible to blend both, enlightenment and materialism, in our lives?
This is one of the fundamental questions, that rises every now and then in our minds. What we want in life is guided by the primal knowledge of what or who we think we are.
Finding inner peace is a journey that looks different for everyone. However, there are some general principles that can help guide you on the path to inner tranquility.
- First, it’s important to still the mind and body through practices like meditation and yoga. This will help you to focus your attention inward and connect with your true nature.
2. Additionally, it’s helpful to cultivate positive emotions and intentions in your everyday life. Every thought and action should be focused on creating more peace in the world.
3. Finally, remember that peace isn’t something that can be found outside of yourself – it comes from within. By following these principles, you can begin to find the inner peace that you seek.

Luxury Unplugged talks about a spiritual yet luxurious lifestyle?
It is about a sense of connection to something bigger than ourselves, and it typically involves a search for a meaningful life …
Some may find that their spiritual life is intricately linked to their association with a church, temple, mosque, or synagogue.
Others may pray or find comfort in a personal relationship with God or a higher power. Still, others seek meaning through their connections to nature or art. Like your sense of purpose, your personal definition of enlightenment may change throughout your life, adapting to your own experiences and relationships.
What Is Spirituality?
Spirituality is a broad concept with room for many perspectives. In general, it includes a sense of connection to something bigger than ourselves, and it typically involves a search for meaning in life.
As such, it is a universal human experience—something that touches us all. People may describe a spiritual experience as sacred or transcendent or simply a deep sense of aliveness and interconnectedness.
To my mind, Spirituality is about seeking a meaningful connection with something bigger than yourself, which can result in positive emotions, such as peace, awe, contentment, gratitude, and acceptance.
And so enlightenment is linked to Luxury centric lifestyle because when we are seeking luxury we are seeking heights of comfort, attainment, and power n some form

Unless you have a positive frame of mind, you cannot achieve all that luxury…

What is the definition of Karma in buddhism?
Here’s why it’s important to understand the true definition of karma.
Would you be surprised if you learned that…?
- The reason for continuing in the cycle of birth and death is Karma.
- The experiences of pain and pleasure are the results of Karma that has been charged or collected in the past life.
- One negative deed does NOT get offset by another positive deed; both will deliver their results individually.
- After attaining the knowledge of Self, you can be engaged in normal activities, stay in a blissful state, not bind any karma meaning, you will attain full enlightenment eventually.
- One attains final liberation (moksha) only when all Karmas are destroyed. [Source: ]
Definition of karma and I quote from this link is:
(Buddhism, Hinduism) One’s acts considered as fixing one’s lot in the future existence.
- (Theos.) The doctrine of fate as the inflexible result of cause and effect, especially the principle by which a person is rewarded or punished in a subsequent incarnation for deeds in the previous incarnation; the theory of inevitable consequence.
- One’s destiny; fate.
- (Mysticism) The supposed non-physical emanations that a person gives off, which may affect other people; are vibrations.
Karma develops from thoughts words and deeds which set a seed in the core of our lives that will manifest at some time in the future. When dealing with this kind of karma it’s important to realize that we set the causes which are now manifesting.
But that same law of cause and effect can work for us now. We must set different more positive causes which will then manifest in the future.
The most positive cause of all is to set a goal of how you want your life to be, the end result and then chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo to bring out your Buddha nature from within to surmount any circumstance you might be facing.
Your future self will be determined by what you do in the present. When you chant and bring out your Buddha nature, then you strengthen yourself and take a step towards Buddhahood.
How Nichiren Buddha teaches Karma
Nichiren Buddhism teaches that one of the purposes of Buddhism is to change karma. When you chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo in front of the Gohonzon and also work for the happiness of others you will find you have the power to alter any negative circumstances in your life, thus changing your karma.
You literally have your future in your own hands and can transform it for the better at any time. This is a philosophy of great empowerment which you can prove to yourself.
Know How to Transform Your Karma?
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you feel like you just can’t go on? Where it feels like you’ve hit a wall and there’s just no way out? That’s called karma. And we all have it. But the good news is, we can transform it.
How? Through the practice of Nichiren Buddhism. Nichiren Buddhism is all about opening the gateway to obtaining Buddhahood through strong faith.
When we have strong faith, we can overcome anything because we know that our Buddha nature is always there, waiting for us to realize it.
So how do we develop this strong faith? Let’s take a look.
Developing Strong Faith with Nichiren Buddhism
The first step is to chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with conviction. This means that when you chant, you do so with the belief that it will truly transform your life for the better. The second step is to study the teachings of Nichiren Buddhism and apply them to your life. This helps increase your understanding of the law of cause and effect and how it applies to your own life.
The third step is to share the teachings of Nichiren Buddhism with others. When we help others, we are also helping ourselves. By sharing the teachings, we deepen our own understanding and conviction and plant the seeds for others to do the same.
Faith in Action
We all suffer. It’s an inescapable part of life. And when we find ourselves up against a thick wall of suffering, it can be tempting to give up. To abandon our faith and give into despair.
But this is exactly when we need our faith the most. Because it is at this crucial crossroads that we have the opportunity to obtain Buddhahood by continuing to practice Nichiren Buddhism with strong faith, or close the path to happiness by abandoning our faith altogether.
So, how do we choose?
The answer, according to Nichiren Buddhism, lies in understanding that suffering is not something that happens TO us, but rather something that happens FOR us.
That’s because every situation, no matter how difficult, contains within it the seeds of our own transformation. In other words, when we’re faced with suffering, it’s an opportunity to grow and change for the better.
So how do we keep up the faith through the pain?
How do we face suffering head-on and use it as a tool for transformation? The key is to have strong faith. Faith that despite appearances, things will get better. That despite how dark and hopeless things may seem in the moment, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Having this kind of unshakeable faith is what allows us to look suffering in the face and say, “Bring it on.”
How to find Inner peace
Each of us must confront and deal with our destiny ourselves. No one else can do it for us. But the good news is that we have the power within us to change any karma. We’re not meant to live our
lives in resigned acceptance fixated on our past situation or ignoring the present and only focusing on the future.
Our current situation is an important opportunity to change our own karma and our circumstances have come to us to help us to grow.

You have the power within you to change anything in your life. Use your practice to chant about it, and then to take action on the ideas you receive. If you’re stuck due to fears, chant for courage.
To Buddhists, every ordeal is an opportunity. It is a test of faith that enables a person to develop spiritually and move closer to attaining Buddhahood. In this way, ordeals can be seen as blessings in disguise.
The next time you face a challenge, remember that it is an opportunity to learn and grow. Embrace the opportunity with an open heart and mind, and have faith that you will emerge stronger on the other side.
Buddhism teaches that everything happens for a reason. There is no such thing as accidents or coincidence—every event occurs because it is meant to happen. This includes both the good and the bad experiences in life.
When something bad happens, it is easy to become angry, resentful, and even bitter. However, if we can step back and see the bigger picture, we may be able to find the hidden gift in our challenges.
According to Buddhist teachings, ordeals are sent by heavenly deities or the protective forces of the universe. They are designed to test our strength of character and our faith.
When the obstacles, karma, have appeared for this reason you are dealing with a tempering process. As Ikeda points out, when the iron is heated and hammered, impurities are driven out and the iron
becomes stronger.
The process of confronting and challenging our karma enables us to polish our lives and greatly strengthen our faith. So you must be resolved to challenge your karma to the very end.
President Toda, the second president of the SGI, said,
“To soar serenely in the skies of attaining Buddhahood in this lifetime, we must launch headlong
into the fierce winds of adversity. Faith that remains undefeated by any hardship is what enables
us to build a palace of eternal happiness in our lives. There is no obstacle we cannot surmount
with faith.”
Facing difficulties can be painful, but it is also an opportunity to learn and grow.
By embracing our ordeals with compassion and an open mindset, we can emerge from them stronger and wiser than before. The next time you are facing a tough situation, remember that it is an opportunity to forge your character and develop your spiritual practice.

Conclusion:
Karma can be tough, but we don’t have to let it control us. With Nichiren Buddha’s teachings, we can learn how to develop strong faith so that we can overcome anything that comes our way.
The next time you find yourself facing a difficult situation, remember that it contains within it the seeds of your own transformation.
All you need is a little faith—faith that things will get better, faith that you can overcome whatever challenges come your way—and you’ll be able to turn any situation into an opportunity for growth and change.
All it takes is some chanting, studying, and sharing with others and pretty soon, you’ll see your karma transform right before your eyes!
