“Life is power. Power is voice. The voice is words. New words are therefore new life.”1 The voice more than anything expresses our life force. That is why the heart, the body and life itself can be transformed depending on one’s voice and choice of words. As the Daishonin says, “The voice does the Buddha’s work”. The voice also has the ability to produce evil. Positive words create a healthy mind and body while negative words adversely affect our mental and physical well-being.
