The motion of daily life in its smallest movement chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” reveals happiness and freedom in our single-minded determination to manifest Buddha nature.
Nichiren Daishonin teaches: “The
Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings says: The robe, the seat, and the room represent the three bodies of the Buddha, the Dharma body, the reward body, and the manifested body; the three truths, the truth of non-substantiality, the truth of temporary existence, and the truth of the Middle Way; and the three categories of action, actions of the body, mouth, and mind. Now Nichiren and his followers, who chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, are fulfilling these three rules of preaching represented by the robe, the seat, and the room in each moment of their lives.” [The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings] Chapter Ten: The Teacher of the Law (p.84) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Consistently observing our mind chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” it is the heart of joy unfolding each moment in activities of daily life that Buddha nature emerges.
