The provisional mind of birth and death cannot see the delusion while being in it, but chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” opens the moment with a view of the broader reality within us.
Nichiren Daishonin writes: “Now, [with the Lotus Sutra] these three bodies and four kinds of lands blend together in harmony to form the virtue of a single Buddha, known as the Buddha of Tranquil Light. The Buddha of Tranquil Light functions as the Buddha of the perfect teaching, and the Buddha of the perfect teaching is the true Buddha of the state of wakefulness. The Buddhas of the other three lands are provisional Buddhas in a dream realm.” [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.860) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Revealing true self chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” our Buddha nature of tranquil light reveals good fortune in the actions in daily life.
