Great profile of Herbie Hancock in the Sydney Morning Herald:

As a Nichiren Buddhist, Herbie Hancock starts and ends each day with an invocation of the mystic law of cause and effect. He sits facing a sacred scroll, rings a bell, recites two chapters of the Lotus Sutra and chants "nam myoho renge kyo" - meaning that in life there are threads unseen and every action has consequences. His cadence is a calming, measured monotone you could set your watch or tune your piano by.

"In life there are threads unseen and every action has consequences." Another illuminating translation of the daimoku to consider alongside Chrissie Hynde's "Every drop that goes to the vein comes back to the heart."
