Within the realm of daily life each moment chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” reveals the Wonderful Law in our ordinary existence as we are.
Nichiren Daishonin teaches: “The Record of the Orally Transmitted
Teachings says: Gasshō, or “pressing the palms together,” is another name for the Lotus Sutra. Kōbutsu, or “turning to face the Buddha,” means that one encounters and pays respect to the Lotus Sutra. Pressing the palms together is an element of the body. Turning to face the Buddha is an element of the mind. The passage describes how one dances with joy when one comes to the realization that the elements of the body and the mind are the Wonderful Law.” [The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings] Chapter Three: Simile and Parable (p. 46) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Single-mindedly our body and mind chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” dances with joy in the true self of original Buddha nature.
