Revealing the equality of Buddha nature Chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” together we cherish each other.
Nichiren Daishonin teaches: “Point Seven, on the passage “Now you must press forward diligently / so that
together you may [all] reach the place where the treasure is.” The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings says: The word “all” refers to the Ten Worlds. The word “together” refers to the words [of the Buddha in chapter two, Expedient Means] “hoping to make all persons / equal to me, without any distinction between us.” The word “reach” means to arrive at the level of the highest effect, the state of Buddhahood. “The place where the treasure is,” the treasure land, is the holy mountain, Eagle Peak. Nichiren and his followers, those who chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, one and all will “together reach the place where the treasure is.” This one word “together” means that, as long as they are together with Nichiren, they will reach the treasure land.” [The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings] Chapter Seven: The Parable of the Phantom City (p.78) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Practicing together and attaining happiness together as Nichiren teaches chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” is the place where our treasure of Buddha nature is.
