Sometimes we have to get mad when we chant!
Lions ROAR! Lions ROAR!
When we chant
we are chanting
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo
to our own life,
and sometimes we chant with this thought:
we are chanting
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo
to our own life,
and sometimes we chant with this thought:
"Life! Enough is enough! I am changing this karma NOW."
RISE UP to your life while chanting and DEMAND results now. We chant for the wisdom to take the correct action...and the courage to take it!
We are all noble Boddhisatvas of the earth.
In The Heart of the Lotus Sutra, Daisaku Ikeda writes:
"When we do gongyo "we are in effect vowing to advance kosen-rufu (a world of respect for all life) in accord with the spirit of the original Buddha. Every day we pledge to the Daishonin, "Without fail, I will believe in and spread the teachings of Nichiren Daishonin and help lead all people to enlightenment."
page 150
And to fulfill this vow, we have to win in our lives.
Each of us has some negative tendency that happens over and over, don't we? For me, I struggled for years with a feeling that would just overcome me, and wash over me like a wave. Out of nowhere I would feel unloved, unlovable and hopeless. I'd call my friend-in-faith Kate, and she'd remind me that this feeling was a function of the fundamental darkness within my life and within all of life, and this was AGAIN my time to summon up the power of my faith.
That's why I say
BE FUELED BY YOUR OBSTACLES,
not FOOLED BY THEM!
"Get MAD at the shoten zenjin!" Kate would say.
(Shoten Zenjin are the protective forces that counterbalance fundamental darkness. We use our practice to increase the shoten zenjin and banish fundamental darkness.)
And I would generate some angry energy, roar like a lion and use this PowerPrayer inspired by Kate - it totally changed my life:
PowerPrayer to say,
"No More! Enough is enough!”
I change this negative function NOW!

I don't CARE how many times I have to chant about this. I don't CARE how many times you try to bring me down.
