Desiring to live moment-to-moment chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” the Gohonzon of our true reality emerges in substance of daily life.
Nichiren Daishonin writes: “When we
ordinary mortals, persons of incorrigible disbelief who are constantly drowned in delusion and suffering, desire to take faith in the Lotus Sutra, this is a sign that the Buddha nature within us is beginning to manifest itself. Therefore the Great Teacher Miao-lo says: “If there is no perfuming by the true reality within us, then how can enlightenment come about? Hence one should understand that the power that brings about enlightenment is this true reality. That is why the perfuming carried out by the inner true reality manifests itself as a form of ‘outside protection.’’’ [On the Protection of the Nation] WND II: 181 (p.138) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
In each instant chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” protective functions appear in the environment mirroring our inner faith of practice.
