The value of past experience is fully illuminated chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” opening the wisdom of our inherent Buddha nature moment-to-moment.
Nichiren Daishonin writes: “It is
essential that one give close study to the three teachings that run through all Buddhism. These three are the sudden teaching, the gradual teaching, and the perfect teaching. These are the unity of the three truths set forth in the sacred teachings of the Buddha’s lifetime. The first two teachings, sudden and gradual, were expounded by the Buddha in the first forty-two years of his preaching life; the perfect teaching was expounded in the last eight years. Together they represent the teachings of a period of fifty years. Outside of these, there are no other doctrines. How then can you fail to understand them correctly?” [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.859) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Relying upon the Wonderful Law chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” causes and conditions of past experience and knowledge open our present and future benefit of Buddha nature in daily life.
