Dear Friend,
Opening our heart and mind chanting “Nam Myoho Renge
Kyo” experiencing great joy of the Wonderful Law of simultaneous
causality purifies each moment.
Nichiren Daishonin writes:
“Question: For
practitioners in the Latter Day of the Law, who have just
aroused the aspiration for enlightenment, what types of practice are
restricted? Answer: Such persons are restricted from practicing
almsgiving, the keeping of the precepts, and the others of the five
pāramitās, and are directed to chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo exclusively.
This practice corresponds to the capacity of persons at the stages of
“producing even a single moment of belief and understanding” and
“rejoicing on hearing the Lotus Sutra.” It represents the true intention
of the Lotus Sutra.” [On the Four Stages of Faith and the Five Stages
of Practice] WND I: 94 (p. 786) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Facing
fear or worry chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” proceed directly to do
what must be done with desire to see Buddha nature revealed in this
present moment.
Truly yours,
Tho Tsu 12/31/2016
