The substance of our life chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” manifesting Wonderful Law in all activities of daily life is true departure from delusion and suffering.
Nichiren Daishonin teaches: “Thus the Lotus Sutra represents the continuing cycle of birth and death, birth and death. Because there is birth, the sutra begins with the words nyo ze gamon, “This is what I heard” (chapter one). The first word nyo has the meaning of birth. And because there is death, the sutra concludes with the words sarai ni ko, “they bowed in obeisance and departed” (chapter twenty-eight). The last word ko, or “departed,” has the meaning of death. And the word sarai, or “bowed in obeisance,” represents the actions of us living beings in the interval between birth and death. These actions are actions of Myoho-renge-kyo. The word rai, or “obeisance,” means that which is not disordered. The Dharma-realm is the Wonderful Law, and hence it is not disordered.” [The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings] All the Twenty-eight Chapters of the Lotus Sutra Are Nam-myoho-renge-kyo (p.242) www.nichirenlibrary.org
Clearing the field of our life of delusions chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” we see from beginning to end Buddha nature in ourselves and others.
