Dear Friend,Consistently chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” perceiving the unity of the Buddha nature in our life the irrepressible desire to see it in others emerges, too.
Nichiren Daishonin writes: “[The “reason” for which they appear consists
of “causes” and “conditions.”] The causes are the unity of the three truths that exists, eternal and unchanging, within the bodies of all living beings. Hence they are referred to collectively as “causes.” But although the three inherent causes, or potentials, of the Buddha nature are possessed by all beings, if such beings do not encounter the right conditions by meeting a “good friend” or teacher, then they will not become awakened, they will not understand, their Buddha nature will not manifest itself. If they encounter the necessary conditions by meeting a good friend, however, then their Buddha nature will invariably become manifest. Hence such meetings are referred to as “conditions.”” [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.861) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Being good friends together benefits all chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” revealing our full potential of freedom and happiness each moment.
Truly yours,
