I have been a Buddhist since 1977, after reading my first book about Dhamma. Starting with transcendental meditation, Mahayana Buddhist study was a constant companion in my life, settling on Nichiren Buddhism, then I received my Gohonzon on November 18th, 2010.

My Actual Proof

This site also is part of my journey in buddhism. I can accept that there may well be some Nichiren that travelled a different path to me that will have different views. There are also 'Haters' in buddhism, my sect is better than your sect, yours is more of a cult than mine.
To be honest, I don't really care, I am just talking about what, what worked for me. I learn and remember by writing stuff down. In Nichiren Buddhism you are meant to do faith, study and practice - there is no proscribed amount.

Why Do it?

My Actual Proof

For me, I have had loads of actual proof and that's part of the practice, we typically say try it for 90 days and if it does not work for you, fine, try something else. I wanted a way to share actual proof, so that other could gain benefit from the practice. However, it's not a magic wand, if I chanted to be a Director of Dance at some Ballet company, having 2 left feet might be a hindrance, having not training might also be a snag, and of course I might not be the right fit for the team.
So given the skills I have how can I enable others to find actual proof for themselves? What is realistic?

My Action

From when I was a kid I got lots of 'New Age' stuff coming in to my house (hippy mum) and I was always interested in the 'Mind' and how it worked. I got into 'Creative Visualization' which was a new thing on the block in the 70's - I learnt how to visualize in technicolor, but what to do about it? With Nicheiren Buddhism I found a way to make it happen, to make it real. They constantly say 'Chant for what you want' - but what do you want? To be a Script-Writer of your life, to be the author of your life, to be the director of your life. But what does that mean? How do you do that? That's covered in the Lifes Script-Writer page. In Nichiren Buddhism, unlike other Buddhism, we take personal responsibility for our lives, we transform our karma, we change our destiny - we call this Human Revolution.
