Tina Turner
In the tumultuous era of the 1970s, Tina Turner’s life took a transformative turn as she discovered the solace of Buddhism. Battling the challenges of an abusive marriage, her encounter with Buddhism became a sanctuary for her troubled mind. The practice provided her with a path to inner peace during a profoundly trying period, offering her solace and strength.
She openly shared her connection to Buddhism, explaining that within the Soka Gakkai tradition, she learned to sing the Lotus Sutra. To Tina, this practice was more than just a melody; it was a profound rhythm that resonated deep within her. Describing the experience, she revealed, “It touches a place inside you, a place we strive to reach – the subconscious mind. I believe it’s the highest realm, where we receive guidance and insight.”
