Each moment of each day chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” we experience Buddha nature present in all activities of daily life.
Nichiren Daishonin writes: “But now if we who are ordinary mortals in this land of
defilement practice the Lotus Sutra, then, because of the mutual possession of the Ten Worlds and the equality of all in the phenomenal realm, we will be able to free ourselves from the necessity of transmigration marked by change and advance, through which bodhisattvas in the pure lands [advance toward the far-off goal of Buddhahood]. We will increase our practices of the Buddha way and will be able to compress the process of [kalpas of] transmigration marked by change and advance into a single lifetime, and thus attain Buddhahood.” [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. 855) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
In this life of countless delusions as we are chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” our highest potential is revealed single-mindedly observing the smallest moments of daily life.
