I don’t believe it matters whether you chant slow or fast; chant just once or hundreds of times; I believe as long as you chant faithfully and sincerely, that’s all that matters.I think it’s the intention which is important not the what or how. Nichiren said “The heart is what matters most” President Ikeda's guidance says you can chant to have 10,000 times more power in your prayer. So I usually dedicate some time to chanting to increase the power of my daimoku by 10,000 times!
If I were helping a friend practice, then I would happily chant slow and few daimoku each day, just so they could engage with the practice – my own enlightenment can wait!
The Mystic Law is beyond being reasoned with in this way. If you are sincere in your heart, then your practice is strong – faith is not measured in Daimokus Per Minute .When chanting truly becomes a limitless joy, then there is no restriction on speed or duration only the enjoyment of the chanting and the insight it brings.
