Universality

Dear Friend,

Perceiving the universality of Buddha nature chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” our oneness of life and environment radiates outwardly manifesting wonderful substance of joy here in this moment now.

Nichiren Daishonin writes: ““This makes
it clear that when the sutra says that all living beings possess the Buddha nature, it does not mean that only a small portion of them do so. To insist that ‘all’ means only a small portion not only contradicts what is said in the sutra, but represents a state of insufficient belief. But why would one deliberately choose to enter such a state and thus become an icchantika? From this we can see that what is meant is that all living beings possess the Buddha nature. And from this one may logically conclude that all living beings can attain Buddhahood.”” [Persons of the Two Vehicles and Bodhisattvas Cannot Attain Buddhahood in the Pre-Lotus Sutra Teachings] WND II: 183 (p.176) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org

Taking hold of our individual mind as it is chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” is a necessary function transforming every aspect revealing inherent Buddha nature in daily life.

Truly yours,
