Dear Friend,

Seeing mind of happiness chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” clears delusions revealing mind of Buddha nature within substance of daily life.

Nichiren Daishonin writes: “The mind represents the spiritual aspect, and the
voice, the physical aspect. The spiritual aspect manifests itself in the physical. A person can know another’s mind by listening to the voice. This is because the physical aspect reveals the spiritual aspect. The physical and spiritual, which are one in essence, manifest themselves as two distinct aspects; thus the Buddha’s mind found expression as the written words of the Lotus Sutra. These written words are the Buddha’s mind in a different form. Therefore, those who read the Lotus Sutra must not regard it as consisting of mere written words, for those words are in themselves the Buddha’s mind.” [Opening the Eyes of Wooden and Painted Images ] WND I: 11 (p. 86) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org

Every sound chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” is inseparable from wisdom of Buddha nature flowing directly into the ocean of enlightenment.

Truly yours,

Tho Tsu 12/14/2016
