Dear Friend,
Calling the name of original Buddha chanting “Nam
Myoho Renge Kyo” true self of life and environment manifests wonderful
being each moment.
Nichiren Daishonin writes: “The entity of
Myoho-renge-kyo in all its splendor—just what is this entity? If we hope
to answer this, we must say that it is the eight-petaled white lotus
that is the true nature of our own lives. Since this is so, then the
essential nature of our lives is Myoho-renge-kyo. And once we have come
to understand that Myoho-renge-kyo is not the name of a sutra but is the
entity of our own lives, then we will see that our own lives are in
fact the Lotus Sutra, and the Lotus Sutra is none other than the sacred
word preached by the Buddha in order to make manifest the entities that
are our lives. And seeing that, we will know that we ourselves are Thus
Come Ones of original enlightenment, who possess the three bodies within
a single body. Once we have become enlightened to this, then all the
delusions and mistaken habits of thought that we have entertained from
the beginningless past until the present will be swept away like
yesterday’s dreams and will vanish without a trace.” [On the Ten
Factors] WND II: 179 (p. 80) www.nichirenlibrary.org
Conviction of a single-minded moment
chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” and simultaneous emergence of Buddha
nature masters duality riding the middle way.
Truly yours
