Dear Friend,

We’ve always had immeasurable joy within our life despite delusions and distractions chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” reveals immediate benefit of the Buddha nature.

Nichiren Daishonin writes: “For this reason, the Great Teacher Miao-lo, in speaking of persons who rejoice on hearing word of the sutra passed along by fifty persons in succession, states: “Probably those who are mistaken in their understanding fail to realize how great is the benefit gained even by a beginner [in the practice of the Lotus Sutra]. They assume that benefit is reserved for those who are far advanced in practice and disparage beginners. Therefore, the sutra here demonstrates its power by revealing that though their practice is shallow, the benefit that results is profound indeed.”” [On Reciting the Daimoku of the Lotus Sutra] WND II: 186 (p. 237) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org

Rather than spending this wonderful moment of being pursuing provisional mind, we reflect the Buddha nature of original happiness chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo.”

Truly yours,

Tho Tsu 10/30/2016
