“If you reach an impasse, go back to the original point!" This was a very wise remark of the Sokka Gakkai's first president, Tsunesaburo Makiguchi. Pull yourself up by using your faith! Break through those obstacles and deadlocks in front of you by chanting daimoku!" ”.

My name is Hannah, and I have been chanting for 20 years, I started when I was 16 years old. My boyfriend at the time was a Buddhist, he told me all about it and it all made such a lot of good sense to me that I gave it a go.
Why do I practise ?
Well, that's a very good question ? I ask myself this all the time.
I first encountered this Buddhism through my Greek Language teacher back in early 1994 . I became friends with her and her husband and often used to go out drinking with them. They kept mentioning Buddhism and encouraging me to attend neetings but I had no interest at all - I mean, why would I ?
