Dear friend,

The proof of chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” is revealed in happiness of each moment deepening our faith in the doctrine of the Wonderful Law.

Nichiren Daishonin writes: “On the
other hand, if you believe these doctrines, you will become a Buddha of perfect enlightenment. How, then, are you to go about nurturing faith in the Lotus Sutra? For if you try to practice the teachings of the sutra without faith, it would be like trying to enter a jeweled mountain without hands [to pick up its treasures], or like trying to make a thousand-mile journey without feet. The answer is simply to examine the proof that is close at hand, and thus to take hold of faith that is far off.” [Letter to Hōren] WND I: 62 (p.511) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org

Mindfully observing our thoughts chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” the smallest elements of each moment shine with intention and compassion of Buddha nature.

Truly yours,
