Our highest potential expression of life each day and each moment chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” is found in our ordinary sufferings and desires opened as true self and happiness.
Nichiren Daishonin writes: ““Single-mindedly desiring to see the Buddha”
may be read as follows: single-mindedly observing the Buddha, concentrating one’s mind on seeing the Buddha, and when looking at one’s own mind, perceiving that it is the Buddha. Having attained the fruit of Buddhahood, the eternally inherent three bodies, I may surpass even T’ien-t’ai and Dengyō, and excel even Nāgārjuna and Mahākāshyapa. The Buddha wrote that one should become the master of one’s mind rather than let one’s mind master oneself.” [Letter to Gijō-bō] WND I: 41 (p. 390) www.nichirenlibrary.org
Uniting our body and mind chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” deepest desires express inherent Buddha nature in all moments.
