PowerPrayer for Overcoming Everything!

We DO hold the entire universe in our hands, and in our bodies, our minds and our hearts. The key to our happiness, and the key to overcoming every obstacle is to challenge ourselves EVERY DAY, twice a day, to chant to bring that power forth in our lives. 

The PowerPrayer I am sharing with you today (below) is my fierce determination to turn all poison into medicine and win no matter what! 

As Daisaku Ikeda says in this month's Gosho study on page 24 of the April Living Buddhism:

"No Matter how great the adversity, we can always find a way to make it into an opportunity for our great human revolution; we can always use it to create value. This is the essense of human Revolution." 

PowerPrayer for Revealing 

Your Buddha Nature 

and Appreciating YourSELF
by Jamie Lee Silver from Chantforhappiness.com

"I chant to reveal the pure, sparkling Diamond

of resilience, strength, and wisdom

that lies within me. 

I chant to be more and more aware 

of how wonderful I am every single day. 

that every cause I make, 

at every single moment of every day 

is a great cause for my life, 

and all of life, 

and leads me to see more and more of my Buddha nature. 
I WILL WIN! 
I WIll WIN every challenge! 
I am the Buddha! 
Nothing can stop me! 

My Buddha Nature emerges 

and flows through me touching everyone I see. 
I am a sparkling Diamond! 

All day I choose kind words for myself and others. 

I praise myself with my every thought. 

I chant to believe in my own goodness 

and to see it revealed in my actions. 

I pray to realize my life as the Buddha I am.

I chant that those around me 

are inspired to begin chanting, 

or to strengthen their practice 

just by seeing my happiness flow. 

I chant to meet the people 
who are looking for the Mystic Law 

and to be able to help them practice.
Every moment I infuse with the Buddha I am! 

True Happiness in Life!

What makes us truly happy? 
What is Absolute Happiness? 

I just got off the phone from an almost three hour conversation with a person I've known for many years. She is coming tonight to the meeting at my house and wants to start practicing. It is amazing how well Daimoku works. I have been chanting for shakubuku, and to meet the people who are seeking this practice. Now I will be introducing two people in one week. And truly...nothing makes me happier. 

Seeing a person embrace this practice and start the dialogue with their own life (by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo) that will lead to inner transformation  ~ and outer results, is the most exciting thing in the whole world. And now she will have this tool of practicing Buddhism to pass along to the people in her life who need it! 

There are many ways of happiness in this world, but giving someone the key to their own happiness is indescribably delicious! 

True Happiness is knowing that NO MATTER WHAT trials we face, with our practice we can overcome ANYTHING! 
I feel such inner happiness...inner peace...confidence...contentment...excitement...real, true unshakable happiness. 

I will keep chanting "Bring me the people seeking this practice who want to learn, and are ready to practice. I want to end suffering on this planet. Kosen-rufu is possible! I am Kosen-rufu in action" - and so are you, my wonderful friends in faith!!!
