Sandie Says ....

Just googling a bit and came across Sandie Shaws web site ... forgotten that she was a Buddhist too. Found a bit she had posted in her Buddha Room that I liked and have posted it below.

Oh .. and for a limited time, there's a free download of a new version of Puppet on a String (Simon :-) to celebrate her 60th birthday.

One last thing he said was that when we are chanting for our dreams and desires – and we get negative feedback from our environment, or it seems that something just isn’t happening, or we are told "this will never happen", or "cant happen" – he said that this is our cue, our opportunity to transform the karma. We have two choices, one is to give up, the other is to chant with complete conviction that we will transform the doubt and lack of self worth we have about ourselves. The environment reflects both our positive and negative tendencies and most of the time the negative ones are how we feel about ourselves. He said that although Nichiren’s Buddhism was the Buddhism of Cause we still keep trying to change/manipulate the Effect in the environment. He said we must focus on the Cause, on our own lives and eradicate our lack of self worth. Then the environment will respond to our treasuring and valuing our lives accordingly.
