Dear Friend,Every moment chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo,” we open the single reality of heart and mind in eternity, true self, purity and happiness of Buddha nature.
Nichiren Daishonin teaches: “Point
Eight, on the passage “If you wish to put aside all sloth and remissness, / you must listen to this sutra.” The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings says: The words “all sloth and remissness” refer to the teachings of the sutras that were expounded as expedient means during the more than forty years [following the Buddha’s enlightenment]. These are all sutras of “sloth and remissness.” “This sutra” indicates the daimoku. Now Nichiren and his followers, who chant the daimoku, or Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, are diligent in their efforts. This is why the sutra says, “You must listen to this sutra.” In particular, it says, “You must listen to this sutra from Nichiren.”” [The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings]Chapter Ten: The Teacher of the Law (p. 85) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Our life of suffering in delusions of past, present and future is wiped out chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo”—listening to this sutra from Nichiren.
Truly yours,
