Even though we have delusions of numerous lifetimes our present practice chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” illuminates the darkness that has concealed our mind of purity and eternity.
Nichiren Daishonin writes: “All I wish is
that you will embrace this sutra and cast your name upon the sea of the vows made by the Buddhas of the ten directions, that you entrust your honor to the heaven that is the compassion of the bodhisattvas of the three existences. One who thus embraces the Lotus Sutra will cause the heavenly gods, dragons, and the others of the eight kinds of nonhuman beings, as well as all the great bodhisattvas, to become one’s followers. Not only that, but that person’s physical body, still in the process of forming causes for achieving Buddhahood, will acquire the Buddha eye of one who has perfected that course; and this ordinary flesh that exists in the realm of the conditioned will put on the holy garments of the unconditioned.” [Questions and Answers about Embracing the Lotus Sutra] WND I: 8 (p. 60) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
The great fortune of encountering and opening Buddha nature within our life chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” reveals in our daily activities rewards of self, eternity, purity and happiness.
