Dear Friend,
Both theory and doctrine of chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo”
are correct while actual proof exists in each moment of faith.
Nichiren Daishonin teaches: “The Law is Nam-myoho-renge-kyo
of the “Life
Span” chapter. To respond to them and take joy in them is what is
meant by the words “responding with joy.” Broadly speaking, “to respond” may be
regarded as another name for faith. To respond means simply to have the mind of
faith. That is why it is stated in the second volume of the Lotus Sutra, “It is
because they have faith in the Buddha’s words / that they can comply with this
sutra, / not because of any wisdom of their own” (chapter three, Simile and
Parable).” [The Record of the Orally
Transmitted Teachings] Chapter Eighteen: The Benefits of Responding with
Joy (p.147) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
There is no teaching that goes beyond chanting “Nam Myoho
Renge Kyo” in benefits of actual proof.
Truly yours,
Tho Tsu 2/10/2016
