Dear Friend,

Constantly abiding Buddha nature chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” reveals true self of happiness and freedom in each moment of thought.

Nichiren Daishonin teaches: “Or again, it may refer to the succession of thoughts
or moments of life that constantly abides throughout the three existences of past, present, and future. This is what is meant by the words that come earlier, “For this reason, living beings should constantly keep the thought [of the Wonderful Law] in mind.” Now when Nichiren and his followers chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, they should abide in the mind of faith that “from thought to thought never entertains doubt.” Earthly desires are enlightenment, the sufferings of birth and death are nirvana—one should have no doubts concerning this.” [The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings] Chapter Twenty-five: The Universal Gateway of the Bodhisattva Perceiver of the World’s Sounds (p.181) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org

Phenomena of daily life chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” without doubt in each moment and thought open happiness of the Wonderful Law.

Truly yours,

Tho Tsu 12/24/2016
