Dear Friend,

Realizing emergence of original mind of happiness chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” as mind, body, and actions mirror inherent Buddha nature we reflect happiness in others and our environment too.

Nichiren Daishonin writes: “The three
bodies are as follows: first, the Dharma body of a Thus Come One; second, the reward body of a Thus Come One; and third, the manifested body of a Thus Come One. These three types of bodies of a Thus Come One are invariably possessed by all Buddhas. If we use the moon as an illustration, we may say that the moon itself is comparable to the Dharma body, its light to the reward body, and its reflection to the manifested body. Just as a single moon has these three different aspects, so a single Buddha possesses the virtues of these three different bodies.” [On Consecrating an Image of Shakyamuni Buddha Made by Shijō Kingo] WND I: 87 (p. 683) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org

Consecrating these three Buddha bodies, Dharma, Reward, and Manifest in our life chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” great compassion of our Buddha nature envelopes life and environment each moment.

Truly yours,
