Determination

Dear Friend,

We find our self in each moment chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” where we transform darkness into the brilliant determination to win.

Nichiren Daishonin writes: “Life at each moment encompasses the body and
mind and the self and environment of all sentient beings in the Ten Worlds as well as all insentient beings in the three thousand realms, including plants, sky, earth, and even the minutest particles of dust. Life at each moment permeates the entire realm of phenomena and is revealed in all phenomena. To be awakened to this principle is itself the mutually inclusive relationship of life at each moment and all phenomena. Nevertheless, even though you chant and believe in Myoho-renge-kyo, if you think the Law is outside yourself, you are embracing not the Mystic Law but an inferior teaching.”  [On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime] WND I: 1 (p. 3) www.nichirenlibrary.org

We see our inner world reflected in all phenomena chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” as Buddha nature manifests in all workings of life at each moment.

Truly yours,

Tho Tsu 5/05/2016
