Dear Friend,
The treasure land of happiness chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” is found in the interactions of daily life imbued with faith.
Nichiren
Daishonin teaches: “Again, the phantom city is our skin and flesh, and
the treasure land is our bones. To gain enlightenment into the fact that
these two elements of our bodies and minds are the Wonderful Law is to
grasp the essential substance of the statement that the phantom city is
identical with the treasure land. That essential substance is the
realization that impermanence and permanence are simultaneous and
inseparable, that that which accords with changing circumstances, that
which is unchanging, these are tranquil and shining in a single moment
of life. Each of these moments of life is Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, a moment
of life in which one exercises a faith that is free of doubt. ” [The
Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings] Chapter Seven: The Parable
of the Phantom City (p.73) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Living with conviction chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo,” we open happiness within our life and in our environment.
Truly yours,
Tho Tsu 10/08/2016
