Do you realize how strong we all are? All of us who chant Daimoku (Nam Myoho Renge Kyo) have the power to ROAR LIKE LIONS and create the lives of our dreams!
All we have to do is realize it, and when we chant...demand results from our own life.
That's right. When we chant we are connecting with our own life, so we are not asking anyone or anything for "favors".
No, we are connecting with our highest life power...that of the entire life and power of the whole universe. Nam Myoho Renge Kyo is the name of the rhythm of life itself. It is already inside you.
Please chant with the knowledge that Nam Myoho REnge Kyo is YOUR LIFE ITSELF! And claim your birthright! Claim your power! Don't settle for a life of suffering.
"Nam Myoho Renge Kyo is like the roar of a lion, what sickness can therefore be an obstacle?"
Sickness means any problem, and challenge, any trouble from illness to relationships, to depression...ANYTHING. Nam Myoho Renge Kyo...and YOUR chanting can BREAK THROUGH anything. You just have to dig deep and realize Nam Myoho RENge Kyo is your life itself, and chant with conviction.
You are an honorable Buddha - you deserve the absolute best.
Chant Nam Myoho Renge Kyo with happiness and conviction. Write down with pen and paper what you want for your life.
Chant to see the kind of benefit that will strengthen your faith.
Chant to strengthen your faith! When you chant with the faith that YOU KNOW your prayers will have an impact - they will!
Chanting takes courage! You can do it! You can make any change you want to see for yourself and others.
Below is a post from earlier this summer. I thought you might want to read it again:
Last night the evil twin in my head reappeared with thoughts that were tailor made to bring me down! I swear! No one can bring me down faster than those negative thoughts in my head.
I know you know what I mean!
We all have these negative thoughts! We are all familiar with those negative thoughts in our own brains!
We all have thoughts that can lead us into negative places. Mine tempt me to feel afraid for no good reason. They nudge me to be sad when I have nothing to be sad about. But they are so familiar...it's almost like a well worn groove in my brain. I think these thoughts and I feel my spirits sinking.
I am at a great place in my life in all ways. I'm healthy, happy, have great relationships, enjoy my job, and I'm moving forward with my book and the other really cool things I'm looking forward to offering you! I'm helping people to learn Gongyo and tonight there is going to be a rocking Buddhist meeting here at my house. OF COURSE these thoughts would reappear. These are the obstacles we call sansho shima, forces that work to hold us back! They can only defeat us if we fail to see them as the obstacles they are...and give them more power by believing them!
For me, when they occur, it is one more time to roar like a lion!
So this morning I did my walk in the Chicago area's unbelievably gorgeous weather (I love the heat!) and came back and chanted.
I chanted Nam Myoho Renge Kyo and told the depths of my life NO WAY !!!! No thoughts are going to bring this Buddha Down! Get out of my head!!!! I am determined to be happy in every way so that I can lead my friends who read this blog, and the members of my district, and everyone else I meet or have yet to meet, to happiness! I am the happiness master! No tiny little nasty thoughts are going to get in my way!!! Roooooaaaaaaarrrrrr!!!!!
And now I feel GREAT!!!
The universe is yours to command!
What will you stand up for today!
Please share with me so I can use your wonderful words and experiences for my book!
