1,2,3,4 Nam Myoho Renge Kyo Buddha please


The Pretenders "Boots of Chinese Plastic"- Great song

From Rolling Stone Mag:
The opening line on your album is a Buddhist phrase, "Nam myoho renge kyo." Where did you learn that?
About 1971, this guy and I were hitchhiking through Canada. We thought we were John and Yoko. Somebody told us that if we got to Toronto, we should stay with this woman Georgia Ambrose, who held Buddhist ceremonies at her house. We called her and she said, "What sign are you?" "Well, we're both Virgos." And she goes, "Come over, I need some Virgo energy." When we got there, that's what they were chanting. It means, basically, that every drop that goes to the vein comes back to the heart.



1,2,3,4 Nam Myoho Renge Kyo Buddha please
can you help a little peasant that's begging on her knees illusion fills my head like an empty can spent a million lifetimes loving the same man



 

Whoa! Every drop that run through the vein
always makes it's way back to the heart again
and by the way you look fantastic in your boots of chinese plastic

Hare Krishna, Hare Rama too,
Govinda I am still in love with you
I see you in the birds and in the trees
that's why they call me Krishna Mayee

Whoa! Every drop that run through the vein
always makes it's way back to the heart again
and by the way you look fantastic in your boots of chinese plastic

Hofra told us we should tolerate the people and the things that make me wanna hate
oh have a little mixed mercy on me, this seasoned beauty in this human pageantry
Jesus Christ came down here as a living man
if he can live a life of virtue then I hope I can
unto others as you would have a turn
back here and repeat until you learn, learn, learn

Whoa! Every drop that run through the vein
always makes it's way back to the heart again
every dog that lived his life on a chain knows what it's like WAITING FOR NOTHING!

and by the way you look fantastic in your boots of chinese plastic

I started chanting nam myoho renge kyo and good things started happening. I felt clearer. To me it was like magic. When I started chanting, I never imagined the things that would happen.
