Within each fragment of mind chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo,” birth and death persists as every moment begins and ends while Buddha nature of the present never changes.
Nichiren Daishonin teaches: “But when
we come to the present sutra, the Lotus, we awaken to the realization that the two phases of life and death are the wonderful workings of one mind, and that the two ways of existence and nonexistence are the true functions of an inherently enlightened mind.” [The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings] Chapter Two: Expedient Means (p.30) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Riding upon the wave of birth and death each moment chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” temporary existence shines with wonderful brilliance in Nirvana of Buddha nature.
