Overcoming

 https://nichirenwords.blogspot.com/2016/11/overcoming.html
Dear Friend,

From beginning to end each moment chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” observing the mind, we advance rapidly over obstacles overcoming every weakness.

Nichiren Daishonin writes: “Persons of
inferior capacity seem to make little progress but to be stuck in one place. As they are certain, however, to reach enlightenment within a single lifetime, when they are on the point of death, just as all one’s dreams vanish when one returns to a waking state, so all the erroneous views and mistaken ideas they have up to now entertained with regard to the realm of birth and death and of delusion disappear without a trace, and they return to the waking state of original enlightenment and see the entire realm of phenomena as it really is. Then they realize that all this is the blissful land, the Land of Eternally Tranquil Light, and that they themselves, whom up to now they have looked on as mean and lowly, are in fact Thus Come Ones of original enlightenment, who possess the three bodies within a single body.” [On the Ten Factors] WND II: 179 (p. 79) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org

Our true self of eternity, happiness and purity in each moment opens chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” and benefits appear of themselves in the workings of daily life.

Truly yours,
