Lauren age 4 chants daimoku

Whenever Lauren comes to visit her grampa, she always wants to chant the Daimoku. I asked her why she like to chant with Grampa - "That's a silly question,Grampa... because I'm a Buddhist.." So here she is.. chanting...

You don't have to understand what nam myoho ho renge kyo means in order to derive benefit. If she finds it pleasing to do so, then so be it. Nichiren never gave an age limit on who should chant.

@ebonvan I agree entirely :)

This is absolutely fantastic!!! <3 I think it is fine for children to chant daimoku :) she looks like she is really enjoying herself! :D x

@hanakowhiteway She seems to be a natural Buddhist. Lauren is now five and still loves to chant and do short meditations with her grandmother who practises a form of Tibeten Buddhism. But most of all, Lauren enjoys chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. Her Parents and older sister have no interest whatsoever in Buddhist practice. Lauren was simply born with a passion to chant and meditate :)

I think that young people especialy children are far smarter than we give them credit for. She has probably been a Buddhist for many lifetimes. cool.

@Morgainell I think you may well be right :)

@bannistg then all that matters is what is in her heart :) my daughter chants with my husband and me, by her own choice
