• "Mantra/ Daimoku sample Audio Data": There's no good data in Japan. (-- why?) At last, I found good one in SGI Canada site. --- by Google search key-word " Nichiren mantra audio ".
The average speed of this Daimoku-chanting sample is about 21/ 60sec.
True speed depends on your PC environment, so if necessary, you need to adjust it. ex. 20.5
( This audio is 5 minutes, 100 times. In this pace, it costs 50 minites for 1000 times. --- Slow, a bit (?) )

Tip: In this audio data by Canadian speaker, he pronounces the spelling Re as [le] ( not [re]).
He understands the Japanese language culture, we Japanese all ( from baby to old man) say RaRiRuReRo as [la li lu le lo] . Japanese people like the clear voice, RaRiRuReRo notation is a ( famous) historical mistake.
Please listen to his voice carefully. --- It is easy to pronounce [le] than [re], isn't it true?

• "+N start/ +N stop" button: (start-button + hand-free chanting [no button] +stop-button, then bump +N counter.)
This function is the hand-free function under/during the chanting.
- You can clasp your hands (having a JYUZU [=Buddhist rosary/beads ring]) in prayer toward the GOHONZON.
- You (only) have to sign the start/ end.
- Starting condition: average (times/60sec) box's bold RED value is non-zero.
(This AP uses its average speed value for calculating +N value of the counter.)
[This left box value can be written by your ten-key input (ex. input 45) directly, too.]
- Line header "Now off/ on" status is corresponding to "+N stop/ +N start" button.
- +N= box displays +1 count on every your average 1 chant speed time passed.
- Rhythm indication by letter/ Pacemaker animation function.
-- Current position of the sound is displayed, hence you can understand/ feel your real chanting is faster or slower than or just equal to the predicted average speed.
-- This chanting song is in triple or 6 time [rhythm/ beat/ pulse/ tempo].
i.e. 1(NamMyo)2(HoRen)3(GeKyo),123,123,...
Or, 1(Nam)2(Myo/Myo:)3(Ho/Ho:)4(Ren)5(Ge/Gue)6(Kyo/Kyo:), 123456, 123456,.....
-- (If necessary, you should beat the Lin musical instrument.)
-- (If you independently emphasize Num < and pause>, then naturally, MyoHo, Lenge, Kyo
,,,, this is the most traditional pronunciation, perhaps. but now this usage becomes private usage, a bit (?!).
,,,, this includes the Secret Alphabet divine Law. )

Natural and ordinary rhythms pattern is next. -- "Nam, Myo <nalu> ho:, RenGue Kyo."
1(NamMyo <nalu>)2(Ho:Ren),3(GueKyo),123,123
Above <nalu> silent voice represents <de-alu> = featured/ characteristic.

 → This tool is a kind of chanting Rhythm Visible training machine.
    i.e. Mollusk Mantra.
-- You sometimes should remember the fact that Nam/ Numb blah-blah-blah = I sacrifice myself to blah-blah-blah .
-- 1(NamMyo), separate, 2(Ho:) , separate, 3(RenGueKyo) . In this, "Myo , separate, Ho:" is near "MyoHo:".

• "Any input signal mode check box" function:
If checked this box, "your one push - one chant" activity is unrestricted a bit.
- Any place mouse point click is OK.
- Any keyboard button is OK. (except "SHIFT" key)
From my humble experiment:
1. I grasp up the mouse by both hands, and I click the mouse per every chant.
In this time, at 1st, I fix the mouse (arrow) point location, for example, in the top of the Memo Textarea, and click the mouse, then the current position vertical bar blink occurs in text edit area.
Next, stand up the mouse [cable part is head position] , and lift up the mouse from the mouse-pad, and put both palms together.
As the mouse shape is standing-up, so mouse-ball doesn't move, so mouse (arrow) point doesn't move.
-- As a matter of fact, if you can stand up the mouse carefully, you need not this "Any input signal mode" function.
You slowly stand up the mouse from the "bump counter & set now time" button area position with no dropping out the area.

2. I sometimes use the foot (finger) for the mouse clicking. -- somewhat exaggeration (?)
Lay the mouse on the floor, right foot is on the back of mouse to fix the location.
Left foot thumb finger pushes the left click-tip.
(There may be many variations. Laying the keyboard on the floor, is OK, too.)

• Chanting preparation exercise is needed:
Chanting speed is varied gradually, so iterate using "init counter & start time" button for getting your proper average speed time (tuning). -- i.e. the warm-up needed.

- This comes from the fact that "average:(times/60sec ,bold red ) ≡ counter: (red) / elapsed time2 (red)"
-- soCif you had a recess time, above simple average speed value becomes improper.

[average (times/60sec) box value can be written by your ten-key input directly, too.
-- its (sec/times) value is automatically defined in my "+N start" button procedure.]

[here, average 2boxes x(times/60sec), y(sec/times),-- x*y=60 (always constant), so if x=45 then y=60/x=60/45=4/3=1.333.. -- in this case, y is dependent variable.]
- related to here, The button "now time" is getting the now time with no average boxes value updating. The button "+avrg" is getting now time and now average boxes value updating.

•  Khaki bgcolor X-Y axis: 
- No mouse click noise, no keyboard pushing noise. so be quiet, but needs the finger action and the bound eyes.
- In my case, I now adopt drawing the squared shaped mouse trace/rut around the origin (0,0) in anticlockwise direction. -- This rotation action is better than the linear piston action, I think so.
[ex. P1(0.2,0.2) → P2(-0.2,0.2) → P3(-0.2,-0.2) → P4(0.2,-0.2) → P1 ]

• Memo Textarea :
Input your own memo [ex. pray list (.., appreciation for the deceased)/ average speed/ (last total) count history etc.], and make your file.txt for saving this contents.

[After the open this AP, open file.txt (read) and copy&paste (file-edit to memo-area) and close file.txt, Before the close this AP, if memo-area is changed, open file.txt and copy&paste (memo-area to file-edit) and close file.txt. (write)]

- You can change the value of the counter to any value as you like at any time ( especially at AP start).
(Or, you may use the abacus calculator which is in last place. Here, you can subtract by using negative number, too.)
- In fact, this memo function is important. It makes visible your hope/ long cherished desire/ theme/ thinking/ meditation/ important matters/ thanks/ sadness/ trouble/ ... .
Have recesses of chanting for praying sometimes.
In each time, you should read out (or repeat reading out) this memo contents (/ praying-list), and confirm them into your mind.

- ↔ button is the text font size tuning function. You specify the new numeric size (unit: pt) into the box and push the button. System starting this font size value is 10.5(pt).

• New Mantra "© Numb ma harangue Gakkai" :
- In Japanese, "Watashi wa haha-oya soshite (haran banjyo:) shishiku jissen party nalu SGI ni kie shimasu".
- ma (in English/ Chinese) = mother/ mama (in English) = okaasan (in Japanese) [most basic Chinese pronunciation sample]
- haran has 2 meanings.
a) haran banjyo: na kako (in Japanese) = stormy (in English)
b) harangue (in English, [HH ER0 AE1 NG]) = shishiku (jissen) [sulu] (in Japanese, = [make a] lion's roar)
- ©
- nam(=sacrifice oneself to), ma(=mama), ha(=wave), ran(=stormy), gak(=learning), kai(=party)
- I'm very fond of this new Mantra. This new Mantra is corresponding to my mind.
- This sentence was found/ made by me. I found the word "harangue" from my A2SPELLING dictionary.
- I recommend saying "Gakkai" (no neglect of pronunciation).
- Click the "Mantra" button under pushing the " SHIFT" button, the new Mantra is pulled down.
   [ex. average speed 75 (times/60sec). we can chant at high speed. MIXed usage, I recommend.]
- This mantra is not authorized at all now. It's just only my private proposal. but, it provides a merit of high speed chanting and has some other theoretical background.

• Other functions should be learned by real machine operation, please.
Science/ Psychology ---- Chanting brings us ( a ) peace of mind ( , or mental health/ healing , or condition pacemaker).

- About Typhoon Course: If the typhoon pass over Japan. We Japanese feel we're unlucky. If it doesn't pass over Japan. We feel we're lucky. And, If it turns into any other countries, we almost don't feel they are unhappy, we are somewhat selfish. Please forgive our such narrow mind.

- other famous OMAJINAI in Japanese:
" Itaino itaino tondeke!, Chichin Puipui! (,Pui!)"
--- this is the sound of diverting an attention from a pain (or reducing a pain), --- toward the baby from ma or grandma.
A kind of Sound and Vibrational Therapy.

- About atomic bomb/ nuclear weapon:
  • 1957.09.08, Toda 2nd president of SGI addressed "Atomic bomb ban declaration" at one sports arena in Yokohama.
    This declaration is one of SGI's peace policies.

    By imagination, I can feel that the atomic bomb is a tremendous terrible dangerous arms.
    i.e. when the bomb exploded, many many & small small arrows are scattered, then their arms arrows pass through the biological cells of men.
    The skin or internal organs cells will be dead.
