Appreciating

Dear Friend,

Appreciating our environment chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” therein we find everything we need to demonstrate Buddha nature inherent within us and all living beings.

Nichiren Daishonin writes: “In any event,
you had been forsaken by your fellow samurai and by the people close to you, and they mocked you for their own amusement. Under the circumstances, an official letter granting you any sort of fief, even one inferior to Tono’oka, would have been welcome. Yet, as it turned out, your new domains are three times as large. No matter how poor these estates might be, avoid complaining of it, either to others or to your lord. If you say, “They are excellent, excellent lands,” your lord may add to your fiefs again. But if you say things like, “The lands are poor,” or “There are no profits,” you could very well be forsaken by both heaven and other people. You should bear this in mind.” [The Receipt of New Fiefs] WND I: 126 (p. 945) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org

In this moment here our life as it is standing up now chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” causes transformation displaying freedom and happiness in heart and mind.

Truly yours,
