Our environment of daily life each moment chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” is our place of opening Buddha nature.
Nichiren Daishonin writes: “The seventh volume of the Lotus Sutra explains how
the votaries of the Lotus Sutra should conduct themselves, stating: “After the Thus Come One has entered extinction, you must single-mindedly accept, uphold, read, recite, explain, preach and transcribe it, and practice it as directed. In any of the various lands, . . . wherever the sutra rolls are preserved, whether in a garden, a forest, beneath a tree, in monks’ quarters, in the lodgings of white-robed laymen, in palaces, or in mountain valleys or the wide wilderness, in all these places one should erect towers and offer alms. Why? Because you should understand that such spots are places of religious practice. In such places have the Buddhas gained supreme perfect enlightenment.”” [On the Protection of the Nation] WND II: 181 (p. 101) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Wherever we’re chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” single-minded devotion in each moment reveals beauty and goodness.
