Quotes from Suzanne Vega excerpted from articles on suzannevega.com


"I've been a Buddhist since I was 16 - the Nichiren Shoshu sect. So every morning I chant and burn incense..."


''I was 16 when my father came home and said he'd gone to a Buddhist meeting,'' Miss Vega recalled. ''There hadn't been any religion in the family until that time. I decided to give it a try, and one by one the whole family became involved.


''The discipline revolves around chanting and the recitation of morning and evening prayers that are supposed to change your character. Chanting also may have had an effect on my songwriting, since it's repetitive - a rhythm that goes around and around - and a lot of my songs have striking, circular rhythms.''


From other comments she's made I gather she's not as "religious" about practicing Buddhism these days, but still occasionally chants in times of stress, etc.
