Inherent Buddha nature emerges chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” in the presence of our activities in daily life.
Nichiren Daishonin teaches: “The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings says: The words “four sides” stand for birth, aging, sickness, and death. We use the aspects of birth, aging, sickness, and death to adorn the towers that are our bodies. And when, while in these four states of birth, aging, sickness, and death, we chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, we cause them to waft forth the fragrance of the four virtues. Nam stands for the pāramitā of happiness, myōhō for the pāramitā of true self, renge for the pāramitā of purity, and kyō for the pāramitā of eternity.” [The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings] Chapter Eleven: The Emergence of the Treasure Tower (p. 90)
Breaking habituated patterns of suffering chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” we adorn our lives with great virtue.
