PowerPrayers for Chanting Your Way to Absolute Happiness and Success
As Nichiren buddhist, we know that wars begin and end within our own hearts. and I know from personal experience that we sometimes turn against the ones we love when we are really stressed and challenged. But we know, we really know, that the answer lies in our determination to create a harmonious family, and to change our own, and our family's karma with our determined Daimoku. (Chanting of nam-myoho-renge-kyo).
Daisaku Ikeda states:
A person who respects others is respected by others in return. Those who treat others with compassion and concern are protected and supported by others. Our environment is essentially a reflection of ourselves.
From Ikedaquotes.org
Daimoku can change ANYTHING. It can change inharmonious relationships, and give us the courage and wisdom we need to make changes in our lives.
With that in mind, I offer you the PowerPrayer for a Harmonious Family. Usually we read PowerPrayers before chanting so that we can keep our determinations and prayers fresh in our minds while sonorously chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, the title of the Lotus Sutra and the name of the rhythm of life itself. Chanting allows us to tap into the vast resources our lives already possess, raise our life conditions and become absolutely happy...possessing the type of happiness that is not swayed by daily changes in our lives. Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is the most powerful cause we can make for our lives.
That's it!

PowerPrayer for a Harmonious Family
Life!
I am Nam-myoho-renge-kyo!
I have the power to chant happiness and harmony for my whole family
With every daimoku I am picturing us happy
I am erasing years of karma with every Nam-myoho-renge-kyo
With every Daimoku I am summoning appreciation for my loved ones. I appreciate them more and more.
With every Daimoku I am summoning appreciation for my loved ones. I appreciate them more and more.
For every fault, sickness, sadness, problem I see in my family ~
I chant to change this in MYSELF so that the karma of the whole family is changed!
I am chanting happiness and harmony into my family
My prayer is enough!
I will not give up
I am tearing every bit of karma that makes any of my family members suffer - I am tearing that karma out by the roots.
My family will never be the same.
I will not give up!
I will have a happy family that will shine as a beacon of hope to all who are suffering.
My chanting gives me the wisdom to communicate with composure and compassion.
I am the Buddha!
I chant specifically for these outcomes:______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jamie, this is incredible - as always with you. Yesterday I wrote an e-mail to my mother, where I pls asked her to be careful with me. Today I feel nervous about her reactions and this powerprayer was exactly what we needed right now. I want our relation to heal, I want her to feel safe with me. I want to feel safe with her. I got bodily reactions and my puls increase when we meet. I have to chant for happiness and healing in our family. I want to take my responsibility. I love her anyhow. Jamie, you are just a wonderful being. Thanks Universe that we met. This year we have 10 year anniversary. Love & light. Carolina from Stockholm/Sweden :-)
