PowerPrayer for Overcoming Our Biggest Problems


What do we do when we have a problem that looks like it is bigger than Nam-myoho-renge-kyo? 

Have you ever had one of those? When you think to yourself...
"Oh well, all those other Buddhists, 
they've never seen THIS problem." 

And although you have seen results from your practice, year after year, somehow you think THIS problem is different. THIS problem is too much for the Gohonzon. In your heart you know that nothing is more powerful than your prayer...but also, in your heart, you are struggling to summon absolute faith that Nam-myoho-renge-kyo can overcome THIS one? 

What do you do? 

The answer to this question lies in our SGI organization. It is precisely for this reason, and many others, that we practice together. 

The last time I had a problem that seemed bigger than Daimoku I talked to Kate, my SGI mentor and she gave me these wise words of advice:

"This is just another opportunity for your life to stand up and tell your fundamental darkness who is BOSS. This is just another WAVE, just another WAVE. You MUST stand up to it. You must chant with the conviction that there is no other way than your victory. You must summon that conviction from within your heart." 

Okay....

I couldn't wait to get home to chant. 

And I chanted with absolute conviction that my prayer...this very moment was EXACTLY the breakthrough I needed to solve the problem and to END MY SUFFERING over the problem. 

And I have felt renewed confidence and vigor ever since. 

Whatever you are facing...It is just another wave. Stand UP to it!

Overcoming Our BIGGEST Problems

Read this before chanting and summon your inner conviction. These exact words are not important - the strength of your chanting and your heart IS important!
