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.”” [The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings]Chapter Ten: The Teacher 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
