What's Buddhism Got to Do With It?

Wow, I must really be out of the loop - I just found out that Tina Turner, at age 68 (that's right, folks, sixty-eight!) is going to be touring North America again this fall!

How many people do you think this woman has introduced to the practice of chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo? I know we don't have any way of actually finding out the number, but it would be a cool contest, sort of like one of those things where you try to count the number of jelly beans inside a jar.

Everybody's probably seen this You Tube clip of Tina chanting on the Larry King show:

So, if you were going to hazard some kind of a guess as to how many "seeds" this woman has personally planted, what would you say? One million? Two million? Enquiring minds want to know...

She must have gotten really tired of retirement to want to come back for another tour.

How many people saw the movie based on her life? Probably more lots more than 1 or 2 million.
