Hello person reading this, if this reaches anyone. we're from different parts of the world, we lead different lives, we are different people. but yet, this piece, this video, has brought us together. and I will never meet you, but just remember we're still connected by this piece- by simply listening to it, together. it's crazy how the internet can bring people together, huh? and I hope you're doing more than "okay, " and if you aren't, remember: you will be okay, and that's a promise. please be easy on yourself- it's been a tough year, I know, but we're almost over it, and you will be happy. I don't know how much you'll remember of this, but I'm glad that our lives intertwined in this little way. have a nice day, or night, and lastly, nice life.

My mom was a Buddhist, I grew up chanting this with her. She was so very proud to tell everyone that Tina Turner was also a Buddhist. We both loved her music also. Came across this, it brings back so many memories for me, i really really miss my mom so much. Lost her to cancer 10 years ago. I thought this would be soothing for me but my heart hurts so badly listening to this. Maybe one day I can be strong enough to.

The key to health for both mind and body is not to regret the past or worry about the future. It’s about taking present moment wisely and seriously

8 years ago I was heavily addicted to heroin and ended up in rehab....my roommate in rehab had a month clean and was studying Buddhism and asked me if I wanted to chant with him every morning when we woke up for breakfast... I agreed and nam myho renege kyo is what we would chant over and over as he rubbed his beeds together...long story short we both have 8 years sober and still talk on regular basis.

Dear Tina,

I just read about your passing. I have tears in my eyes... each time I was in Zurich I'd secretly look for you, hoping I could tell you how much meditation had helped me, how much your unique voice encouraged me to find my own when singing, and your dynamic performances reminded me that it's ok to be sexy and comfortable in my body.

I'm so sad for the people you've left behind, but so happy for what you had while living. You were loved by not just millions of strangers, but by those around you. My thoughts are with them, especially your loving husband and children. Thank you for this recording and for exposing so many to mindfulness and meditation. I always think of you, when a person honks their horn and throws a fit and remind myself that it doesn't matter. I don't have to be annoyed, because I can choose peace. I'm so glad you could experience real love in your life and hope that your passing was met gently and amicably.

Love,
H

Today, I chant for peace in the world. I chant for my life with a new rare cancer intestinal tumor taken out August 2023, finally after a year of pain no diagnosis and becoming unhoused/homeless in November 2022 as the landlord also wanted a better life when their daughter had cancer for 3 years prior. Can not fight back relatives. Only give forgiveness. I lived in my car and was in pain without diagnosis since it all began. I say this chant, Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, to honor Tina Turner, peace and no more suffering in this world. Namaste.

RIP Tina, and thank you for blessing us with your voice and strength. 🙏 ❤

[cacciato]

Have listened to this for years. Today Tina Turner crossed over. May all beings be free from suffering through a peaceful heart and an equanimous mind.
