We cultivate a mind of excellence chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” exchanging fragmented thoughts for brilliant wisdom of Buddha nature.
Nichiren Daishonin writes: “When
ordinary people in this latter age read these various sutras, they suppose that these sutras accord with the mind of the Buddha. But if we ponder the matter closely, we will see that in fact what they are reading is only a reflection of their own minds. And since their own minds are naturally uncultivated, there is little merit to be gained thereby. The Lotus Sutra, on the other hand, is known as a sutra that was preached in accordance with the Buddha’s own mind. Because the Buddha’s mind is an excellent mind, persons who read this sutra, even though they may not understand its meaning, will gain inestimable benefit.” [The Bodies and Minds of Ordinary Beings] WND I: 171 (p. 1128) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Upholding this single phrase chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo,” we gain reedom from incorrect thinking cultivating benefits of peace and security in daily life.
