The wonderful experience of chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” opens direct access to the Buddha nature that is always part of our makeup.
Nichiren Daishonin teaches: "Now when Nichiren and his followers chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, they are clearing away the obstacles of illusions posed by ignorance to reveal the Shakyamuni Buddha and Many Treasures Buddha who reside in our own minds…. T’ien-t’ai says [in his Profound Meaning,] “The secret inner storehouse is opened. This may be termed myō, or ‘wonderful.’” You should understand, therefore, that this one word myō is the crossbar. This passage of the sutra is showing us how the lock and crossbar of slander of the Law and lack of faith are removed to open up or reveal the Buddha in our own minds." [The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings] Chapter Eleven: The Emergence of the Treasure Tower. (p. 94) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Sincere effort chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” wipes away ignorance of Buddha nature, while all manner of benefits emerge in our actions of daily life.
