Luckily I have varied friends, they come from different race, culture, and religion, as I try to understand each and everyone of them, it is this religion that sticks to my mind, religion or not, when I look at her chant, she is at peace and glowing.. Nam Myoho Renge Kyo.. while chanting, she believes that their lives fuse with the order and the rhythm of the universe.As the architect of their lives, they are responsible for all the things that happen to them.They chant for happiness, peace of mind, acceptance and letting go of the good and the bad that comes their way.
I do not chant, I am not use to it, but I am amazed at how dedicated and how deep are their roots to their belief, I watch her chant, at first at awe, in wonderment as to how this lady is able to sit in a way that makes her look as if floating, light and serene.... Then I pray, I close my eyes, I bow my head, I call my God, and in my prayers, somehow, I am chanting too, quietly, a smile in my face, whether granted or not, I know that in this Universe, we are all one, wanting one thing...Peace, Love and Happiness!
Dedicated to a special friend.. Myrna V. Ramos
