How do you quiet your mind and find some peace?
Our minds will always be active to some degree In my experience with Nicherin practice It is not the ultimate goal to dis engage from thought or brain activity but rather to have correct or right kind o brain activity.
The power mantra enters and helps “induce” us to have correct thought patterns. a mantra helps shape our minds while plain meditation we are left to the devise we are trying to shape.
As for finding peace I believe his is a slight misinterpretation of the purpose of meditation. I call meditation the meditative arts, recognizing all forms of meditation, I however try and distinguish mediation that is part of the legacy of the Buddha as the this lineage is I belive special
The Buddhas has stated in his teachings as interpreted by his earliest followers that hat sole purpose of the Buddha to enter nirvana and return was to return with the secrets and knowledge he gained specifically to teach satient beings (humans) and offer a tool by which we can end all suffering.
In conclusion a Buddha’s mind is at peace in concert with correct thought which is helping others
