Moment-to-moment fragments of suffering pass through our mind chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” watchfully transforming them into good fortune of Buddha nature.
Nichiren Daishonin writes: “All I wish is
that you will embrace this sutra and cast your name upon the sea of the vows made by the Buddhas of the ten directions, that you entrust your honor to the heaven that is the compassion of the bodhisattvas of the three existences. One who thus embraces the Lotus Sutra will cause the heavenly gods, dragons, and the others of the eight kinds of nonhuman beings, as well as all the great bodhisattvas, to become one’s followers. Not only that, but that person’s physical body, still in the process of forming causes for achieving Buddhahood, will acquire the Buddha eye of one who has perfected that course; and this ordinary flesh that exists in the realm of the conditioned will put on the holy garments of the unconditioned.” [Questions and Answers about Embracing the Lotus Sutra] WND I: 8 (p. 60) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
In our brilliant heart alive to chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo,” we observe the images of the mind of suffering as billowing white clouds dissipating on the horizon of the clear blue sky.
