The struggle we engage in chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” opens the Wonderful Law of simultaneous causality consistently moment-to-moment in our daily life.
Nichiren Daishonin writes: “If we
consider the matter, we see then that the mind when it is dreaming is comparable to the state of delusion, and when it is awake is comparable to enlightenment. Thus if we fully understand the sacred teachings of the Buddha’s lifetime, we see that we have been viewing empty dreams, groundless and ephemeral, troubling our minds with them, pouring out sweat; but when we wake from them we find that our bodies, our homes, our resting places are just as they have always been. The empty world of dreams and the real world of the waking state appeared to our eyes and seemed in our thoughts to be two different matters, yet all along there was only one place and only one person involved. Thus we come to understand these two matters of false or empty, and true or real.” [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.846) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Using the power of great concentration chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo,” we transform dream realm suffering as we are revealing wonderful experience of Buddha nature.
