RemindMe ! Four Days Sixteen Hours Drs Appointment <| sep |> I used to enjoy falling asleep to the sound of frenzied chanting . Imagine that ! Remember the SGIUSA ' s national Culture Department leader , Pascual Olivera ? He died relatively young 40 ' s ? 50 ? of cancer . I guess there were several leaders , including Danny Nagashima , I think , or maybe it was Greg Martin , at his deathbed , and they chanted for an hour as his vital signs waned . After they completed an hour of chanting , he died . Someone said something to the effect , Pascual just wanted to get one more daimoku toso in before he left or something . I trained myself to chant in my mind I used it as a sort of selfhypnosis though I never looked at it in that light when I was in the cult . I would try to chant in my mind until I fell asleep . Hey , remember chanting on the road during road trips ? ?
