The vastness of the moment chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” is one single phenomenon of our self and all others including the sun and stars in daily life.
Nichiren Daishonin writes: “Life at each
moment encompasses the body and mind and the self and environment of all sentient beings in the Ten Worlds as well as all insentient beings in the three thousand realms, including plants, sky, earth, and even the minutest particles of dust. Life at each moment permeates the entire realm of phenomena and is revealed in all phenomena. To be awakened to this principle is itself the mutually inclusive relationship of life at each moment and all phenomena. Nevertheless, even though you chant and believe in Myoho-renge-kyo, if you think the Law is outside yourself, you are embracing not the Mystic Law but an inferior teaching….Therefore, when you chant myōhō and recite renge, you must summon up deep faith that Myoho-renge-kyo is your life itself.” [On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime] WND I: 1 (p. 3) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Persistently moment-to-moment chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” reveals the eternal abiding truth of all phenomena and our fortunate relationship with it.
