Opening the Wonderful Lotus chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” body and mind reveal wisdom and compassion of original Buddha nature.
Nichiren Daishonin teaches: “The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings
says: “Respond” means to respond to and comply with actuality and principle. “Joy” means that oneself and others together experience joy. By actuality is meant responding to and complying with the actual fact of Shakyamuni manifesting [in this life] his original state [of enlightenment] numberless major world system dust particle kalpas ago. By principle is meant responding to the principle of ordinary people being able to manifest their original states. In the end, then, responding means responding to and complying with the inner truth of the “Life Span” chapter. When that is done, then both oneself and others together will take joy in their possession of wisdom and compassion.” [The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings] Chapter Eighteen: The Benefits of Responding with Joy (p. 146) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Responding with joy chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” together we enjoy the value of each moment.
