Thursday, September 13, 2012

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
Thursday, September 13, 2012
Exerting yourself by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo each day amounts to what might be called a spiritual workout. It purifies and cleanses your life, gets your motors running and puts you on the right course for the day. It gets your body and mind working smoothly and puts you in rhythm, in sync, with the universe.
