Self-Reliance

 https://nichirenwords.blogspot.com/2017/07/self-reliance.html
Dear Friend,

Developing self-reliance through faith in chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” our mind turns toward truth of equality of Buddha nature in living beings and environment.

Nichiren Daishonin writes: “The
Nirvana Sutra reads: “There are three types of people whose illness is extremely difficult to cure. The first is those who slander the great vehicle; the second, those who commit the five cardinal sins; and the third, icchantikas, or persons of incorrigible disbelief. These three categories of illness are the gravest in the world.” It also states: “One who creates evil karma in this life. . . will surely suffer in hell. . . . But by making offerings to the three treasures, one avoids falling into hell and receives the retribution in this life, in the form of afflictions of the head, eye, or back.” Great Concentration and Insight states, “Even if one has committed grave offenses. . . the retribution can be lessened in this life. Thus, illness occurs when evil karma is about to be dissipated.” [On Curing Karmic Disease] WND I: 76 (p.631) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org

Continuously making causes chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” Wonderful Law expands faith and ability to overcome all illness and obstacles in daily life.

Truly yours,
