    I'm so encouraged by her experience because it reminds me of what I'm going through. She had this false sense of success and then realized by chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo that she could awaken her greater self and find true happiness.

      Buddism will send you straight to hell. Repent and stop serving false gods and give your life to Jesus Christ. He died for your sins. Acknowledge you are a sinner. Jesus, Immanuel. Yashua.

      In Buddhism you don't pray to 'false' Gods oh frightened, ignorant one. We connect to ourselves spiritually and mentally and strengthen ourselves internally. This is done to become a happier, enlightened, non-judgemental human being.
      Sounds like you need Buddhism in your life! You sound scared and chained to horrible, negative ideas about life.

      @@amanconceptual4768 No, no miracles. Just opening your eyes and seeing opportunities to make your life or attitude better, even if you are in a hellish situation. The Lotus Sutra isn't considered gospel straight from a god. The whole thing is an allegory, like Aesop's Fables.

    The older I grow, the more I know, religion I don't need no more. Instead of reading religous books (I've read a lot of religous books) search and find your soul. You may find some hints in religous books ... the best things happen when you start to know, who you are and where you want to go. Religion is too much blaa blaa for me. The best books from where I learned, where smart non-religous books. But you all know ... myy way is not your way :-)

    If u wish to know and realise who really you are and what is the purpose of life. The only way out is study, meditate and practice Buddhism. Buddhism teach you how you are complete in yourself with tremendous potential to achieve any damn thing without requiring God and all those so called divine things.
