Sanctuary

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

Our life and body chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” comprise the actual sanctuary of the Treasure Tower severing sufferings of disbelief in our own abiding Buddha nature.

Nichiren Daishonin teaches: ““The body
that is freely received and used” is none other than the principle of three thousand realms in a single moment of life. Dengyō says, “A single moment of life comprising the three thousand realms is itself ‘the body that is freely received and used’ [or the Buddha of limitless joy]. ‘The body that is freely received and used’ is the Buddha who has forsaken august appearances. This Buddha who has forsaken august appearances is the Buddha eternally endowed with the three bodies.” Now Nichiren and his followers, who chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, are just this.” [The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings] Chapter Sixteen: The Life Span of the Thus Come One (p. 141) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org

Free expression and use of our full potential chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” manifest and reveal joy without limit moment-to-moment in all aspects of daily life.

Truly yours,

Tho Tsu 11/13/2016
