Direct Ways

Dear Friend,

All action carried out chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” is opened as Buddha nature of the individual.

Nichiren Daishonin writes: “When one understands that all phenomena
whatsoever are manifestations of the Buddhist Law, then one does not need any “good friends” to teach and instruct one. One thinks as one thinks, speaks as one speaks, acts as one acts, behaves as one behaves, and all one’s four types of activity, walking, standing, sitting, lying down, all that one does, is one with and in harmonious accord with the mind of the Buddha. One becomes a person who can act freely, without error or obstacle. This is what is known as practice based on the Buddha’s teaching that pertains to enlightenment.” [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.852) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org

The practice of chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” in the freely manifested moments of daily life are all direct ways to enlightenment in one’s present form.

Truly yours,
