How do you pronounce nam myoho renge kyo in sanskrit?

"Nam myoho renge kyo" is not a Sanskrit phrase. It is a Japanese phrase from the Lotus Sutra (Sanskrit: Saddharma Pundarika Sutra).

Here is the pronunciation of each word in Japanese:

* Nam: nahm (like "nam" in "name")

* Myoho: myo-ho (with a long "o" sound, like "moe" in "mode")

* Renge: ren-ge (like "ren" in "rent" and "gay" in "game")

* Kyo: kyo (like "key" in "key")

Therefore, the entire phrase is pronounced: nahm myo-ho ren-ge kyo

If you are interested in the Sanskrit equivalent of the Lotus Sutra, it would be "Saddharma Pundarika Sutra" which is pronounced:

* Saddharma: sat-dhar-ma (like "sat" in "satin" and "dharma" like "drama" but with an emphasis on the "a" sound)

* Pundarika: pun-da-ri-ka (like "pun" in "punch" and "ri" in "rice")

* Sutra: soo-tra (like "soo" in "soon" and "tra" in "train")

So the entire Sanskrit phrase is: sat-dhar-ma pun-da-ri-ka soo-tra
