Despair

Dear Friend,

Nichiren Daishonin’s entire life existed for the purpose of revealing Buddhism of the Mystic Law chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” gaining Buddha’s enlightenment in our present form.

Nichiren Daishonin writes: “Everywhere
other than the Capital of Tranquil Light is a realm of suffering. Once you leave the haven of inherent enlightenment, what is there to bring you joy? I pray that you will embrace the Mystic Law, which guarantees that people “will enjoy peace and security in their present existence and good circumstances in future existences.” This is the only glory that you need seek in your present lifetime, and is the action that will draw you toward Buddhahood in your next existence. Single-mindedly chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and urge others to do the same; that will remain as the only memory of your present life in this human world. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, Nam-myoho-renge-kyo.” [Questions and Answers about Embracing the Lotus Sutra] WND I: 8 (p. 64) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org

Our heart and mind of Buddha nature chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” immediately extinguishes flames of despair in any moment giving up accustomed suffering in exchange for happiness.

Truly yours,

Tho Tsu 03/01/2018
