Can't get enough, right? Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr talks up her practice:
Kerr, 25 is a Nichiren Buddhist who is currently dating fellow Buddhist Orlando Bloom.She says, "I chant every morning and night. I find it extremely grounding and centering."
And Courtney Love stays oh-so-serene:
Working out and doing daimoku (chanting), yoga and eating correctly helps.
I like the part where Love calls out Madonna. I'd like to see a Battle of the Alternative-Religion Stars, where SGI celebrities square off against Kabalah and Scientology celebs in nylon track suits, a la Battle of the Network Stars. How Buddhist!

Funny about Battle of the Stars. I feel very bad for Courtney Love because I think her emotional state is being manipulated. I'm referring to this article:
I find this very disturbing. Are these "label bosses" doctors? Are they qualified to tell someone to go off their medication?I think it needs to be stressed that chanting daimoku is NOT a substitute for medical or psychiatric care. These kinds of articles make it sound as if medication can be replaced with chanting. I don't think this is a healthy or realistic expectation.I know celebrities obviously cannot be good Buddhists(sarcasm)......Give me a break, if Daimoku helps her keep clean then good for her. Of course all REAL Buddhist are perfect,never get into fights and eat vegan(sarcasm again)...We all have stuff we need to work on.
BeBar, here's a whole blog dedicated to cataloging celebrity Buddhists:http://buddhistcelebrities.blo...It's mostly photos.I'd like to see a series of bubblegum trading cards like baseball cards of Buddhist celeb headshots with vital stats printed on the back -- such as "Hours of daimoku chanted per week," "meditation retreats attended" and "favorite koan."
