Original enlightened mind opens chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” in the moment-to-moment activities of daily life.
Nichiren Daishonin writes: “Although living beings are made up of the ten factors of original enlightenment, even a single instant of ignorance can cloud their minds, as though in
a state of sleep. They have then entered the dream realm of birth and death and forgotten the principle or truth of original enlightenment. This tiny hair’s breadth of ignorance sets them to dreaming empty dreams of the three existences of past, present, and future.” [The Unanimous Declaration by the Buddhas of the Three Existences regarding the Classification of the Teachings and Which Are to Be Abandoned and Which Upheld]WND II: 315 (p.845) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
No matter how brief an interlude of chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” is, the benefits of a single moment of true self emerging is beyond calculation.
