From Daisaku Ikeda:
"Though we may seem to be chanting alone,
we are not.
As we chant,
untold billions of heavenly deities
are facing the Gohonzon with us.
In this way,
the protective forces of the universe assemble en masse (altogether)
and work to safeguard each one of you,
manifesting in your environment
and the actions of the people near you,
the actions of your friends and fellow members."
~Daisaku Ikeda

This is the quote I was referring to at our last meeting. I LOVE this quote!
PowerPrayer to SEE ACTUAL PROOF!
While in front of the Gohonzon tell your life as you chant:
LIFE show me this practice works.
BUDDHAS get busy! I demand results now!
Every nam-myoho-renge-kyo I chant makes a difference.
With this Nam-myoho-renge-kyo I am CHANGING my life now! WIth This Daimoku
With this Daimoku I am changing my karma.
Now! Let me see results in _____________________
And reach this goal____________________________
and feel this way_____________________________
Gohonzon, blow me away with actual proof so that all around me will wan to know how I did it.
And I can tell them Nam-myoho-renge-kyo
and invite them to a meeting!
Let me encounter the people who are searching for this practice, searching for happiness now!
__________________________________________________
I am grateful to you my friends. Grateful for every single one of you. You touch my heart. You inspire me. And we are getting to know one another in person at our meetings.
Every morning when I face the Gohonzon and chant, my first prayer is for the untold billions of deities within my life, body, and spirit to wake up and greet the untold billion deities on the Gohonzon.
And knowing that untold billions of heavenly deities are with me as I chant my two hours every day. Well, it just boosts my spirit, my daimoku, my hope, and determination. I am the Buddha. And so are you!
No matter what you are facing, Daimoku will get you through. Please remember that I can't give individual guidance via email. Please go to your local senior in faith for guidance. That is the beauty of the Soka Gakkai.
Have a great weekend!

Has This Blog En-couraged You? Seeking Feedback
I have pictured people sitting down at their keyboards saying : "Happiness Has to be in here somewhere!" doing a search, finding the blog, and beginning to chant. Many of you have written to me to tell me your stories. And you've written to request guidance, which you've found I don't give. I always encourage you to go to your local SGI leaders. I'm sorry to disappoint you but it really is best to have a local leader chanting alongside you!
So, if you've been connected, or reconnected to the SGI and chanting through ChantforHappiness.com could you please send me an email at chantforhappiness@gmail.com?
Sending much love as always on this auspicious day, September 12th, the anniversary of the Tatsunokuchi persecution. Now is our time to stand up, that is for sure.
I'm chanting to strengthen my life and truly believe in the power of my life. That's where it is at for me. And, as always, chanting for every person who encounters these words!
