Without much inhibition and clouding my mind, I gave in to what always my heart wanted to do - I composed a song. Music has always inspired me and has given me a language to express my random thoughts. The lyrics are more a reflection of what I seek in a Buddhist philosophy that I believe in.
The mystic nature of life is what is signified in the words 'Nam Myoho Renge Kyo' (the universal Law of Truth)- the song intends to pay tribute to this Universal Law of life (which is for sure beyond our comprehension, at times) and to discover the Buddha in me.
Hey, there are problems in life.
It’s up to me to decide.
Let the faith take over my pain.
Happiness is real,
Though finding hard to feel,
Let the faith take over my pain.
Believe in myself – Do I dare to fight it out?
Challenge great heights – Do I dare to fly above?
Appreciate, never doubting myself,
I was the one right from the start.
Breaking barriers – Lion Heart,
I was the one right from the start.
Breaking barriers – Lion Heart
I’ve activated Myoho in my life!
I’ve activated Myoho in my life!
Now, I know that I can.
Know that I do.
Know that I can chant away my blues.
And now, I let my spirit fly
Into the rhythm-divine.
I’m a winner – I’m a Buddha in my heart!
Realize your dream – Hope to transform your life?
Create friendship – Wanna lead a happy life?
Appreciate, never doubting yourself,
I was the one right from the start.
Breaking barriers – Lion Heart
I was the one right from the start
Breaking barriers – Lion Heart
I’ve activated Myoho in my life!
I’ve activated Myoho in my life!
I’ve activated Myoho in my life!

Hi,
I found your blog after visiting your comment on LinkedIN. And your poem is wonderful! I see that you are quite spiritually inclined, which I must admit in my limited experience in this World, I have not come across in any girl I have known till date and have not even heard of many women who are so. Do you have good links to Buddhist Philosophies which you mention in your post?
Regards,
Anurag Rastogi.
Hey Anurag,
I am glad that you found my juvenile attempt so inspirational. Here is a brief intro of me: I am a member of Soka Gakkai International and hence practice Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism. I guess, looking back, I can say that I have come to a point in my life where the daily challenges teach me something beautiful; the poem was just an outcome to reach my inner self! You can look for Soka Gakkai (Value Education) and can browse through many links. Here is one for a start: http://www.lifepositive.com/Spirit/world-religions/buddhism/soka-gakkai.asp
Do share your thoughts about the same! :) Cheers!
Fantastic poem - straight from my heart!
