Dear Friend,

Demonstrating happiness chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” we see in our life and believe in our heart the Buddha nature exists in our life and environment.

Nichiren Daishonin teaches: “Volume six
of On “The Words and Phrases,” commenting on this, says, “Looking at the matter from the viewpoint of the Great Vehicle, we may say that the two words ‘belief’ and ‘understanding’ refer to the two paths [of insight and practice]. First one rids oneself of doubt, and therefore this is called belief. Then one proceeds to embark on [the path of practice], and this is called understanding. The term ‘belief’ applies to both paths, but the term ‘understanding’ applies only to the path of practice. Therefore the path of practice is termed ‘understanding.’”” [The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings] Chapter Four: Belief and Understanding (p.55) www.nichirenlibrary.org

Actual proof dispels confusion chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” in which all activities open and reveal the Wonderful Law in the birth and death of each moment.

Truly yours,

Tho Tsu 5/28/2016
