The elements of body and mind resonate together chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” as single phenomena of life and environment.
Nichiren Daishonin writes: “The self made up of the Ten Worlds is the
Dharma body. The mind made up of the Ten Worlds is the reward body. The form made up of the Ten Worlds is the manifested body. Outside of the Ten Worlds there is no Buddha, outside of the Buddha there are no Ten Worlds. The living beings and their environments are not two things, and one’s self and the land one inhabits are not two things. Because the phenomenal realm of the ten directions is the body of a single Buddha, it is called the Land of Tranquil Light, and for this reason it represents the ultimate principle that is without marks.” [The Unanimous Declaration by the Buddhas of the Three Existences regarding the Classification of the Teachings and Which Are to Be Abandoned and Which Upheld] WND II: 315 (p. 842) www.nichirenlibrary.org
Opening this moment chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” body and mind manifest Buddha nature emerging from within everyday life.
