Essential mind of Buddha’s heart of intention chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” reveals the highest teaching directly in the present events and location of our daily life.
Nichiren Daishonin writes: “Amida
Buddha, who had thus been deserted by his two ministers of the left and right, Perceiver of the World’s Sounds and Great Power, did not return to his realm in the western direction but remained in this world of ours, declaring that he would guard and protect the votary of the Lotus Sutra. In the Tushita heaven, the fourth heaven in the world of desire, in the domain of the bodhisattva Maitreya, there are forty-nine cloisters, and Amida was assigned to one of these. It is reported that he put up a plaque reading “Amida Cloister” and took up residence there.” [Letter to Shimoyama] WND II: 281 (p. 706) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Our residence in a specific land at this time and place chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” we recognize as the place of practice where the true intention of our life is realized.
