Dear Friend,
We may apply the Buddha wisdom chanting “Nam Myoho Renge
Kyo” to every moment and aspect of daily life.
Nichiren Daishonin writes: “Heaven,
earth, water, fire, and wind are the five wisdom Thus Come Ones. They reside within the body and mind of all living beings and are never separated from them even for an instant. Therefore worldly affairs and affairs relating to enlightenment blend together in harmony within the mind of the individual; outside of the mind, there is absolutely no other thing that exists. Therefore, when one hears this truth, one can at that point immediately attain the goal of Buddhahood without a moment’s delay, for it is a principle of the utmost profundity.” [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.859) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org

Finding joy in the midst of suffering chanting “Nam Myoho
Renge Kyo” is the harmony of our life and environment manifesting Buddha nature
in our present form.
Truly yours,
