Determination! THE KEY to changing poison into medicine

In the last post I talked about turning a negative relationship into a positive one by chanting for the person's happiness, and chanting for their Buddha Nature to hear YOUR Buddha Nature. 


Take a look at the post if you want to change an unfulfilling relationship in a very profound way. 


The first thing to do is think of your determination and solidify it in your heart. 


What is a Determination? 


A Determination is a strongly worded cry FROM YOUR HEART TO YOUR LIFE. 
If is not a wish. It is not a plea. It is not an entreaty. 


A determination is a VOW to change your karma, change your life and create a positive outcome.


For example, a determination to change a relationship:


I am determined that through my daimoku I can change the poison of this relationship into medicine. I am determined that through my daimoku _______(person's name) will become happy. The sun will rise in his/her life. I can picture him/her smiling with happiness right now! I am determined to permanently change the karma in my life that to have a person like this cause me pain. From now on I am determined to change my life on the inside so that a situation like this never causes me pain again. My whole family (or work life, or whatever realm this person inhabits in your life) will be positively transformed from this moment forth, starting with the inner change that is happening in MY life. I am a Buddha. I now summon the power of the universe that is my birthright to shine a light on this area of my life and transform it forever!


When I make a strong determination I write it down and look at it every day. It is a powerful tool for changing your karma. 


I have many determinations! Determinations give you power. You can put a date on them if you want to. It is up to you! 


Go forth! Be strong! You are a Buddha roaring with the heart of a lion king. To be a Buddhist takes GUTS. What have you been putting up with, or afraid of, that you can blast with the light of determination and daimoku? This is where Human Revolution STARTS!!!

    it's nice to read your wise words again. The last two posts since you came back from vacation were definitely worth the wait!

  2. Dear Jamie,
    Since childhood I am going thru a very difficult relationship with my father.
    He mentally and physically abuses and tortures me and my mother and does all the wrongs to us.
    We inherently wish that this person should go away from our lives... that he should die
    Reading your blog, I determined to chant for his happiness and arousal of Buddha nature but its becoming more and more difficult in view of his daily domestic violence. I cant help but hate him intensely.

    Please help me that I should be able to keep my heart clean, do not hold any grudges against him, and chant for his happiness so that either
    the relationship between us become harmonious
    or he should move away from our lives forever.

    This time I want some definite proof of my practice within a certain time period as its becoming nearly unbearable ... Please pray for me and give me a date by which I will be able to turn this deadliest poison into the sweetest medicine.
    Nam Myoho Renge Kyo
