Every effort devoting body and mind to chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” reveals true treasure each moment.
Nichiren Daishonin teaches: “The provisional teachings declare that these
two elements of body and mind are characterized by impermanence. But the message of the Lotus Sutra is the assertion that this impermanence is in fact a state of permanent abiding. That is, the phantom city is identical with the treasure land, the place where the treasure is to be found. In effect, now Nichiren and his followers, people who chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, gain enlightenment into the fact that our bodies and minds are the Wonderful Law itself, namely, that the phantom city is identical with the treasure land. The Ten Worlds are all of them phantom cities, and each of these Ten Worlds is a treasure land.” [The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings] Chapter Seven: The Parable of the Phantom City (p. 72) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
The suffering of impermanence in Daily life transforms while chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” opening this single moment of permanently abiding Wonderful Law.
