We realize Buddha nature chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” in the smallest moments of daily life.
Nichiren Daishonin teaches: “This chapter as a whole deals with the true
attainment in kuon. Kuon means something that was not worked for, that was not improved upon, but that exists just as it always has. Because we are speaking here of the Buddha eternally endowed with the three bodies, it is not a question of something attained for the first time at a certain time, or of something that was worked for. This is not the kind of Buddhahood that is adorned with the thirty-two features and eighty characteristics, or that needs to be improved on in any way. Because this is the eternally abiding Buddha in his original state, he exists just as he always has. This is what is meant by kuon. Kuon is Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, and “true attainment” means awakening to the fact that one is eternally endowed with the three bodies.” [The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings] Chapter Sixteen: The Life Span of the Thus Come One (p.142) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Original happiness emerges chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” through our mind, body and behavior as ordinary people of this time in our present form.
