True meaning and purpose of our life chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” opens in relationship with others manifesting our freedom and happiness.
Nichiren Daishonin writes: ““Opening”
here is another name for the mind of faith. When we recite Myoho-renge-kyo with the mind of faith, we are in that very act opening the door of Buddha wisdom. And at the same time, when we open up the mind of faith and [chant and] manifest Nam-myoho-renge-kyo within our lives, we are “showing the Buddha wisdom to living beings” (chapter two). And when we show them this, we are awakening them to the fact that this place where we dwell now is the Pure Land of Eagle Peak. We are awakening them to the fact that we can attain Buddhahood in our present bodies, which is what is called “causing living beings to awaken to the Buddha wisdom” (ibid.).” [Chapter Two: Expedient Means] The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings (p. 29) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
Appreciating our life and environment chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” Buddha nature manifests in activities of daily life.
