The Lotus Sutra reveals the dignity of the ordinary person’s Buddha nature chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” opening great benefits in our present form.
Nichiren Daishonin writes: “Moreover,
though we do not carry out the six pāramitās, we are the same as bodhisattvas who have carried out all six pāramitās to perfection. Hence the Immeasurable Meanings Sutra says, “Although they have not yet been able to practice the six pāramitās, the six pāramitās will of themselves appear before them.” We, who do not observe a single one of the precepts, are to be regarded as upholders of the precepts, as we see in the following passage in the Lotus Sutra, which says: “This is what is meant by valor, this is what is meant by diligence. This is what is called observing the precepts and practicing dhūta.”” [The Sacred Teachings of the Buddha’s Lifetime] WND II: 177 (p. 59) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Finding Buddha nature in all aspects of daily life chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” we are able in the present form to open and reveal the Buddha mind in our life and environment.
