Dear Friend,
Within each moment chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo”
the cycle of birth and death is transformed as the Lotus of cause
emerges opening the upright blossom of effect in body and mind of Buddha
nature.
Nichiren Daishonin writes: “You must never
think that
any of the eighty thousand sacred teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha’s
lifetime or any of the Buddhas and bodhisattvas of the ten directions
and three existences are outside yourself. Your practice of the Buddhist
teachings will not relieve you of the sufferings of birth and death in
the least unless you perceive the true nature of your life. If you seek
enlightenment outside yourself, then your performing even ten thousand
practices and ten thousand good deeds will be in vain.” [On Attaining
Buddhahood in This Lifetime]WND I: 1 (p.3) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Our
life moment-to-moment chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” adorns dust
particle delusions of mind with true aspect of eternal Buddha nature
revealing wonderful results in activities of daily life.
Truly yours,
Tho Tsu 6/27/2016
