Setting the mind on chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” we open the rhythm of Buddha nature in our present form and situation.
Nichiren Daishonin writes: “When the Lotus Sutra addresses evil persons, it speaks of the evil that is a part of the Ten Worlds, and assures them that, since evil persons too are endowed with the five types of vision, even the most evil of all persons are capable of being saved. When it addresses women, it assures them that women are endowed with the Ten Worlds and that women in any of the Ten Worlds can attain Buddhahood. So long as one, through the Lotus Sutra, sets one’s mind on the attainment of perfect and true enlightenment, one can never be dragged back into the nine realms of unenlightened existence by the power of karma.” [The Meaning of the Sacred Teachings of the Buddha’s Lifetime] WND II: 177 (p.64) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
It is our vow and determination chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” to abide each moment in simultaneous causality of Buddha nature freeing our self from suffering.
