The functions of the Leaders of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” permeate our bodies and minds of original character.
Nichiren Daishonin teaches: ““There are times when a single person possesses all
four of these principles. To transcend the two types of death [birth and death in the six paths and birth and death in the higher realms] is known as Superior Practices. To go beyond the two opposing views that life is cut off after one existence or that it is eternally the same is called Boundless Practices. Because one overcomes the five categories of illusions and entanglements that state is designated Pure Practices. And because one is as perfect in virtue as [the Buddha who attained enlightenment under] the bodhi tree, that state is named Firmly Established Practices.” Nichiren and his followers, who now chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, are all followers of these bodhisattvas who emerged from the earth.” [The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teaching] Chapter Fifteen: Emerging from the Earth (p.118) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Our daily life as it is chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” in each moment consistently shows the benefits of an inherently enlightened mind.
