Tina Turner became an icon in the music industry. She has long inspired people with her motivating quotes, offering the world a glimpse into her inspiring persona.
- “Sometimes you’ve got to let everything go – purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything… whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you’ll find that when you’re free, your true creativity, your true self comes out,” she once said.
- “It’s a mistake to think you are what you put on yourself. I believe that a lot of how you look is to do with how you feel about yourself and your life. Happiness is the greatest beauty secret.” – Tina Turner.
Because of her interest in spirituality and religion after a point in her career, she said:
- “I want to tell people how to live spiritually. After you’ve bought all your houses and your clothes, you want something bigger.”
Turner, who was once the lead singer of Ike & Tina Turner Revue, her musical duo with former husband Ike Turner, said:
- “You take your problems to a god, but what you really need is for the god to take you to the inside of you.”
- She felt, “I believe that if you’ll just stand up and go, life will open up for you.”
Tina Turner’s tryst with Buddhism
Turner had previously said that her introduction to Buddhism saved her life and helped her bring the change she wanted. Recalling her suicide attempt, she said:
“In my late 20s, I was depressed and suffering from a litany of problems. Eventually, I became so hopeless that I attempted suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills. Fortunately, people found me and took me to the hospital, where I was revived.”
She added, “The more I learned about [Buddhism], the more I found the philosophy helpful, and it made perfect sense to me.”
“Buddhism literally saved my life, and I’ve been happily chanting every day for about 50 years now,” she told USA Today in 2020.
In her HBO documentary, Turner said, “The more you chant, the more you become liberated, mentally.”
During a recent interview with British Vogue, the award-winning musician revealed, “I very much lean into my faith – my Buddhist beliefs are my foundation. I am so happy to be retired – at 83, I’ve earned it – but the rituals that I’ve had since the early days are still with me.”
