Enacting

Dear Friend,

Enacting our immediate desire converging on Buddhas’ mind chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo,” we open direct means revealing individual truth, purity, freedom and happiness in each moment.

Nichiren Daishonin writes: “The entity
of Myoho-renge-kyo in all its splendor—just what is this entity? If we hope to answer this, we must say that it is the eight-petaled white lotus that is the true nature of our own lives. Since this is so, then the essential nature of our lives is Myoho-renge-kyo. And once we have come to understand that Myoho-renge-kyo is not the name of a sutra but is the entity of our own lives, then we will see that our own lives are in fact the Lotus Sutra, and the Lotus Sutra is none other than the sacred word preached by the Buddha in order to make manifest the entities that are our lives. And seeing that, we will know that we ourselves are Thus Come Ones of original enlightenment, who possess the three bodies within a single body. Once we have become enlightened to this, then all the delusions and mistaken habits of thought that we have entertained from the beginningless past until the present will be swept away like yesterday’s dreams and will vanish without a trace.” [On the Ten Factors] WND II: 179 (p. 80) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org

Consuming our delusions in daily life chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” emerging naturally in present form our original mind manifests in ordinary activities moment-to-moment.

Truly yours,
