Perspective of past pains chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” neutralizes the false image of suffering as outcomes of good fortune emerge in daily life.
Nichiren Daishonin teaches: “Or again, it
may refer to the succession of thoughts or moments of life that constantly abides throughout the three existences of past, present, and future. This is what is meant by the words that come earlier, “For this reason, living beings should constantly keep the thought [of the Wonderful Law] in mind.” Now when Nichiren and his followers chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, they should abide in the mind of faith that “from thought to thought never entertains doubt.” Earthly desires are enlightenment, the sufferings of birth and death are nirvana—one should have no doubts concerning this.” [The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings] Chapter Twenty-five: The Universal Gateway of the Bodhisattva Perceiver of the World’s Sounds (p. 181) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Heart and mind united chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” open as the true aspect of phenomena transforming suffering as enlightenment of Buddha nature.
