Perception

Dear Friend,

Dream realm perception essentially empty without any constant abiding opens immeasurable meanings chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” perceiving the true aspect of phenomena as it is.

Nichiren Daishonin writes: “We should
read the word “provisional” to mean temporary, because it exemplifies the world of dreams. And we should read the word “true” to mean real, because it exemplifies the waking state. The dreams that are the realm of birth and death are temporary and lack an inherent entity and nature, and thus exemplify that which is provisional. Hence they are called illusions. The waking state of original enlightenment is true or real, the mind that is removed from the realm of birth and extinction, and thus exemplifies truth. Hence it is called the true aspect.”[ The Unanimous Declaration by the Buddhas of the Three Existences  regarding the Classification of the Teachings and Which Are to Be Abandoned and Which Upheld]  WND II: 315 (p. 836) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org

Each moment chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” false images of fear and tension are illumined in brilliant reality of true self, purity, happiness and eternity of awakened mind.

Truly yours,
