Dear Friend,

Reading Nichiren Daishonin’s words chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” devotion and determination emerge naturally revealing Buddha nature in each moment.

Nichiren Daishonin writes: ““Therefore, when discoursing on Buddhist teachings, one should keep in mind the goals aimed at by the four ranks of sages and not become unduly concerned with the particular doctrines or principles of logic alone. Also, when assessing the doctrinal tenets of other schools, one should examine them in the light of the tenets of one’s own school and judge their correctness accordingly. But this must not be done in a hard-headed or hostile manner. (On the whole, the other schools in most cases hold doctrines that pertain to the first three of the four teachings and seldom touch upon the principles of the perfect teaching.)”” [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.858) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org

Full expression of chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” through interactions with others is joyfully filled with purpose and value.

Truly yours,

Tho Tsu
