The very moment the mind is turbulent chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” facets the diamond of our life with brilliance.
Nichiren Daishonin teaches: “Point Six, regarding the passage “Beyond these immeasurable, boundless hundreds,
thousands, ten thousands, millions of asamkhya worlds there is a land named sahā, and in it a Buddha named Shakyamuni.” The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings says: The bodhisattvas of the essential teaching employing the power of great forbearance to proclaim and propagate Myoho-renge-kyo is known as sahā. Forbearance is the Land of Eternally Tranquil Light. This mind of forbearance is called Shakyamuni Buddha. Sahā means a world in which one must exercise forbearance and learn to endure.” [The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings] Chapter Twenty-one: Supernatural Powers of the Thus Come One (p. 169) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Proclaiming the mind of forbearance chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo,” we employ the power to overcome all sufferings of delusion where we are in this moment.
