Thought And Feeling
Dear Friend
We honor the Buddha nature of heart and mind chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” in each stirring of thought and feeling.
Nichiren Daishonin teaches: “For this reason, the attitude of mind of one who accepts and upholds this sutra is that of the nyo (“as”) of the phrase “practice it
[the Lotus Sutra] as the sutra instructs.” If one uses this attitude of mind to reverentially accept and uphold the five characters of Myoho-renge-kyo, chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, at once the illnesses of ignorance and earthly desires will all depart, and one will emerge clothed in the shining flesh of perfect enlightenment and the ultimate reward.” [The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings] Chapter Twenty-eight: Encouragements of the Bodhisattva Universal Worthy (p.198) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
We need not wait for any future time chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” our Buddha nature manifests in daily life every moment.
Truly yours,
Tho Tsu 1/16/2016
