Respect

Dear Friend,

Observing our own thoughts, words and actions chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” we open innate Buddha nature within as happiness experienced in our environment of daily life.

Nichiren Daishonin writes: “Bodhisattva
Never Disparaging of old said that all people have the Buddha nature and that, if they embrace the Lotus Sutra, they will never fail to attain Buddhahood. He further stated that to slight a person is to slight the Buddha himself. Thus, his practice was to revere all people. He revered even those who did not embrace the Lotus Sutra because they too had the Buddha nature and might someday believe in the sutra. Therefore, it is all the more natural to revere those priests and lay people who do embrace the sutra.” [The Fourteen Slanders] WND I: 92 (p. 756) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org

Revealing Buddha nature in our present form chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” seeing the Wonderful Law within ourselves we naturally respect all people similarly struggling with suffering.

Truly yours,

Tho Tsu 02/26/2018
