Dear Friend,
In
this moment of chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” we open the single
reality in heart and mind of eternity, true self, purity and happiness.
Nichiren
Daishonin teaches: “Point Eight, on the passage “If you wish to put
aside all sloth and remissness, / you must listen to this sutra.” The
Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings says: The words “all sloth
and remissness” refer to the teachings of the sutras that were expounded
as expedient means during the more than forty years [following the
Buddha’s enlightenment]. These are all sutras of “sloth and remissness.”
“This sutra” indicates the daimoku. Now Nichiren and his followers, who
chant the daimoku, or Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, are diligent in their
efforts. This is why the sutra says, “You must listen to this sutra.” In
particular, it says, “You must listen to this sutra from Nichiren.””

of the Law (p. 85) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Wiping
out suffering in delusions of past, present and future chanting “Nam
Myoho Renge Kyo” listening to the Wonderful Law sutra opened and
revealed for us by Nichiren.
Truly yours,
Tho Tsu 10/31/2016
