Intent

 https://nichirenwords.blogspot.com/2017/03/intent.htmlDear Friend,

Realizing the intent of chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” we reveal Buddha nature existing within true self of original happiness.

Nichiren Daishonin teaches:“To uphold the body of the Buddha means to uphold
the belief that outside of our own bodies there is no Buddha. That is, the ordinary mortal at ri-soku, or the stage of being a Buddha in theory, is not different from the Buddha at kukyō-soku, or the stage of ultimate enlightenment. The word soku (identical) indicates the fact that the first soku, that of ri-soku, and the last soku, that of kukyō-soku, are no different from one another.” [The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings] Chapter Eleven: The Emergence of the Treasure Tower (p. 96) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org

In our united function of mind and body chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” is the only place we can experience the freedom and happiness of Buddha nature in our present form.

Truly yours,

Tho Tsu 03/31/2017
