Amy Winehouse has taken up Buddhism. The troubled star - who doctors reportedly fear could be brain damaged after a recent cannabis overdose - has been inspired by singer Tina Turner to seek solace in the religion. The 24-year-old singer chants Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, a form of Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism. A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Amy was introduced to Buddhist chanting by one of her musicians. She chants for 10 minutes in the mornings and just before she sleeps.

"She has a string of Buddhist beads that she chants with, which she keeps in a red silk scarf. She says chanting is filling her life with positivity." Amy has endured a turbulent 2008. She has been in and out of rehab, involved in several drunken brawls, seen her husband Blake Fielder-Civil jailed and suffer numerous health problems, including scarring of the lungs.Sponsored Links: The 'Rehab' singer is planning to dress up as a mermaid for her performance at the Bestival music festival on the Isle of Wight this weekend, for the '30000 Freaks Under The Sea' fancy dress theme.
