I have been consistently chanting this prayer and it is being instrumental in creating a fearless, all embracing life condition. I feel as if every moment, no matter what I am facing, I am in the world of heaven. Here is the prayer:
The Secret
to Achieving Your Human Revolution
"Pray that instead of devils
or negative, destructive forces
infiltrating your being,
Brahma ("Bonten"in Japanese),
Shakra ("Taishaku" in Japanese),
and the gods of the Sun and the Moon
~ the positive, protective forces of the universe ~
will enter your life!
Pray that they will enter the lives
of all members in your region
and the entire membership of the SGI, as well.
If you do this,
your strength will multiply
a hundredfold, a thousandfold.
With such prayer,
with such faith,
you will realize a fundamental transformation
in the depths of your life.
This is the secret to achieving your human revolution."
SGI President Daisaku Ikeda, World Tribune, 9/8/2000
I am praying this prayer every day, for my own body, for the bodies of my family members, my new work family, all the members in Chicago, throughout the world and YOU. I feel such peace. Every moment is truly joyous.
Daisaku Ikeda says in The Heart of the Lotus Sutra, page 106:
"Those in the world of heaven
are typically bright and smiling in their appearance.
In their nature,
since they feel uplifted ~
~As though ascending into the sky, as it were ~
anything they see makes them happy.
Their power and influence
tend to make those around them
feel buoyant and uplifted too."
This is exactly how I feel. Every spare minute I am reading The Heart of the Lotus Sutra, the new book by Daisaku Ikeda. I really recommend it!
I am always chanting to see with the eyes of the Buddha. We are, each of us, Buddhas. We just have to chant to believe and experience Buddhahood, while forging on and chanting and growing each day, and helping as many people as we can.
On page 107 Daisaku Ikeda says:
"What is important is the vision
to profoundly and deftly
perceive the true nature of shifting phenomena.
The Buddha is one who has mastered this principle."
and continuing on page 109:
"The vision that enables the Buddha
to perceive the true aspect
that exists in all phenomena
is also the eye of compassion to save all people
and enable them to become Buddhas.
"...As seen with the Buddha's eye,
this world,
this universe,
is shining with life,
resounding with the chorus of all things.
The Buddha perceives the irreplaceable uniqueness
and value of all things in the world.
The Buddha's wisdom
is a state of life
filled with boundless exhilaration
and joy in living."
YES!
