We have the theory of Buddha nature existing within our life, the doctrine that demonstrates its presence in living beings, and the practice that proves its actual effect in each moment chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” in our daily life.
Nichiren Daishonin writes: “Life at
each moment is endowed with the Ten Worlds. At the same time, each of the Ten Worlds is endowed with all Ten Worlds, so that an entity of life actually possesses one hundred worlds. Each of these worlds in turn possesses thirty realms, which means that in the one hundred worlds there are three thousand realms. The three thousand realms of existence are all possessed by life in a single moment.” Miao-lo comments on this passage as follows: “You should understand that one’s life and its environment at a single moment encompass the three thousand realms. Therefore, when one attains the Buddha way, one puts oneself in accord with this fundamental principle, and one’s body and mind at a single moment pervade the entire realm of phenomena.” [The Meaning of the Sacred Teachings of the Buddha’s Lifetime] WND II: 177 (p. 61) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Choosing to attain the Buddha way through our own devotion chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo,” we experience immeasurable joy of the Wonderful Law manifesting in all phenomena of our life.
