I'm collecting examples of "Dubious Daimoku," interesting or unusual utterances of or references to Nam or (Namu) Myoho Renge Kyo.

A good one is The Music Emporium's 1969 song, "Nam Myoho Renge Kyo," a psychedelic jam featuring a ridiculously mangled mispronunication of the mantra. Check it out in this YouTube clip.
A friend sent me this reference -- from Tales of a Big City Cop -- about a pot brownie bust:

We took the child into custody and contacted child services. As we were taking the boy away, the parents argued. The mother was in tears. The father threatened to unleash his lawyers on us. The mother told him to shut up and start chanting. Turned out they were some kind of nam-myoho-renge-kyo Buddhists.

Ouch. Chanting is not a "get-out-of-karma-free card."

This one isn't exactly Dubious Daimoku -- it's more along the lines of "Ghastly Guidance" or just plain terrible advice. You can read the whole thing here:

Slander

Even if you commit slander without realizing it, it is still slander. One should never criticize leaders. Right or wrong, one should not complain at all. Instead, one can chant for them to grow and one will benefit from that too.

Never criticize leaders? Yikes. Did Nichiren say that, or did Stalin? FYI, chanting doesn't magically put an end to authoritarianism, and kowtowing makes it worse.

If you find an instance of Dubious Daimoku, please e-mail it to me or post it on this site. Thanks!
