Liberating

Dear Friend,

Liberating the sufferings of no faith and disbelief in our innate Buddha nature chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” this mind and this body are the sanctuary of the Treasure Tower.

Nichiren Daishonin teaches: ““The
bodythat is freely received and used” is none other than the principle of three thousand realms in a single moment of life. Dengyō says, “A single moment of life comprising the three thousand realms is itself ‘the body that is freely received and used’ [or the Buddha of limitless joy]. ‘The body that is freely received and used’ is the Buddha who has forsaken august appearances. This Buddha who has forsaken august appearances is the Buddha eternally endowed with the three bodies.” Now Nichiren and his followers, who chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, are just this.” [The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings] Chapter Sixteen: The Life Span of the Thus Come One (p. 141) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org

Freely using the benefits expanded in daily life chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” our Buddha nature emerges moment-to-moment in life and environment.

Truly yours,
