I love Nichiren Buddhism. This practice saved my life and allowed me to see the happiness and beauty in myself and others. I am so glad this practice came to my life.
Buddism will send you straight to hell. Repent and stop serving false gods and give your life to Jesus Christ. He died for your sins. Acknowledge you are a sinner. Jesus, Immanuel. Yashua. Savior of the whole world.
Sharlene Williams In Buddhism you don't pray to 'false' Gods oh frightened, ignorant one. We connect to ourselves spiritually and mentally and strengthen ourselves internally. This is done to become a happier, enlightened, non-judgemental human being. Sounds like you need Buddhism in your life! You sound scared and chained to horrible, negative ideas about life.
I am so thankful you guys got this interview! Naima was the reason I started to model and generally build confidence in myself. I thought she had the most beautiful spirit on the show. No matter what she has fought through. I am so happy to find a fellow fortune baby in her. You have no idea how happy this has made me! Thank you!
I had heard that someone on NTM was a buddhist. I never really watch the show. I am glad that you were able to win and have learned about yourself from the experience. Proud that one of our members succeeded.
I'm so encouraged by her experience because it reminds me of what I'm going through. She had this false sense of success and then realized by chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo that she could awaken her greater self and find true happiness.
John Thiel You all practising wrong buddhism. Plz follow thailand, srilanka, burma, bangladesh, or indian buddhism. There is no such word in buddhism that you all chanting
Thank you so much for this reminder ❤️💙🌹💫🕊️ Beautiful life surrounds us. We all have the choice and chance to 🤝 and continue 🙏 evolving in love and peace. 💗💗💗🌄
surprise me when i watched this video that Naima is a gakkai member... the time when i watched the American next top.model, i just didn't realize it! yr experience amazed me! thank you very much!!
Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm also an SGI member and is very grateful to say we chant Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo. We are fortunate to have that mentor and disciple relationship with President Ikeda.
What an inspiration you are, let's keep chanting, practicing and spreading the joy in America and thought the world, congratulations on your victory!!!
The Lotus Sutra is the MOST POWERFUL RELIGIOUS TEXT IN HISTORY. Chant NMRK and be PROUD to be Buddhist. Also, in an emergency, read and chant Chapter 25 of LS :)
@@amanconceptual4768 No, no miracles. Just opening your eyes and seeing opportunities to make your life or attitude better, even if you are in a hellish situation. The Lotus Sutra isn't considered gospel straight from a god. The whole thing is an allegory, like Aesop's Fables.
Always remember, you are human and your faith,practice, and study will lead you back on track. I guess we need to polish our mirrors when things start to look wonky! :)
WOW! Thank you so much Naima, for your amazing, encouraging experience. It's so important to share that winning and fame itself is NOT the goal, and your courage is so inspiring. I wish you all the best always, from an SGI friend in Paris.
NMRK SAVED MY LIFE!! the day someone introduced me, I was only way outta here.....I was figuring out when to do it for the 10th time.....THAK YOU SENSIE FOR COMING TO AMERICA!!!
I like that u able to bring out ya buddha nature it very inspiring u do have the heart to reach out to others share ya hope n dream that what a buddhist is show compassion n confident n win within yaself that beautful thank u!
Aloha twins! I just found this today! Very inspirational. I thank Nia for teaching me the chant and know you both are living your purpose. Of course I still chant. Aloha from Kaua'i.
Hey Naima, I watched that particular season when u won that cycle of ANTM and I didn't know what it was about u but I knew u were a little different in a spiritual sense (I had no idea that u were a buddhist at the time) and there was something unique about your aura, I guess, but I knew I connected with your sense of being and wanting to be whole. I'm so proud of you and it's nice to know that SGI members are everywhere when u least expect it. Thank you for sharing your story and keep chanting!
@@sharlenewilliams2722 Can't tell if you're kidding or not, but most of the world is not Christian. If you are happy with your faith, great. This woman is happy with hers. There is no reason to force someone else into unhappiness or spiritual bondage against his or her will just because it is something you accept. If you were kidding, I apologize. If you were serious, Buddhists repent their wrongdoings all the time and try to become better throughout their lives. As for accepting Jesus -- there is no need to be saved in Buddhism. It isn't in the canon.
Your cycle is the very 1st antm i've watched and i genuinely knew the very first you'll win it. Shame I'm watching this just today 09-2018. I can relate to you and your sister alot with the depression drugs and etc and you're remind me about not allowing the dark side feed on me.
If u wish to know and realise who really you are and what is the purpose of life. The only way out is study, meditate and practice Buddhism. Buddhism teach you how you are complete in yourself with tremendous potential to achieve any damn thing without requiring God and all those so called divine things.
