Encountering the essence of Buddha’s teachings chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” strictly depends on causality and relationships formed in the deep and undulating sea of awakening in the cycle of birth and death.
Nichiren Daishonin writes: “When
Nichiren and his followers chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, we may say that the company is made up “only of those steadfast and truthful.” “Those” refers to the Buddha of the true aspect of all phenomena. “Those” also refers to the Ten Worlds, and “steadfast and truthful” refers to the realization that the bodies and minds of beings in the Ten Worlds are the Wonderful Law. And the word “only” is applied because such realization is limited to this sutra [the Lotus].” [Chapter Two: Expedient Means] The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teaching (p. 38-39) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Entering the depth and breadth of this single moment chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo,” we remember and recall the true aspect of all phenomena which has never once been separate from us.
