Without awaiting acceptance based on the mind of others our single-minded focus and intention chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” brings our true desire to fruition clearing all obstacles.
Nichiren Daishonin writes: “All the
other sutras are examples of preaching in accordance with the minds of others, because, when expounding them, the Buddha adjusted himself to the minds of all other living beings. But the Lotus Sutra is an example of preaching in accordance with the Buddha’s own mind, because in it the Buddha had all living beings comply with his own mind. The various other sutras represent the teachings of the Buddha, but if one puts faith in them, then one is simply following the minds of ordinary people and will never be able to attain Buddhahood. The Lotus Sutra is both the teaching of the Buddha and the embodiment of the Buddha wisdom. If one puts sincere faith in each character and brushstroke in it, then one will become a Buddha in one’s present form. ” [The Teaching That Accords with the Buddha’s Mind] WND I: 132 (p. 969) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
With whole heart and mind chanting “Nam Myoho renge Kyo” sincere desire heard in our heart of faith opens our mind of wisdom revealing innate Buddha nature.
