Choosing

Dear Friend,

This single cause of chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” opens our Buddha nature so that we are never lost.

Nichiren Daishonin writes: “The Great Teacher Miao-lo also states: “Even a
single phrase cherished deep in one’s heart will without fail help one reach the opposite shore. To ponder one phrase and practice it is to exercise navigation [in crossing the sea of the sufferings of birth and death]. Responding with joy, seeing and listening to the teachings, are one’s host and companions. Whether one accepts or rejects the teachings, they have entered one’s ear and one has thus established a bond with them. And then, though one may comply with them or go against them, in the end one will because of this bond be able to achieve liberation.”” [The Meaning of the Sacred Teachings of the Buddha’s Lifetime] WND II: 177 (p.56) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org

Choosing freedom in this moment chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo,” past Karmic suffering directly opens our present happiness.

Truly yours,

Tho Tsu 10/13/2016
