Having obtained the essential practice of chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” the Mystic Law is activated throughout the entirety of our existence.
Nichiren Daishonin writes: “It is already
twenty-four or twenty-five years since I began studying Buddhism. Yet I have believed wholeheartedly in the Lotus Sutra only for the past six or seven years. Moreover, although I had faith in the sutra, because I was negligent and because of my studies and the interruptions of mundane affairs, each day I would recite only a single scroll, a chapter, or the title. Now, however, for a period of more than 240 days—from the twelfth day of the fifth month of last year to the sixteenth day of the first month of this year—I think I have practiced the Lotus Sutra twenty-four hours each day and night. I say so because, having been exiled on the Lotus Sutra’s account, I now read and practice it continuously, whether I am walking, standing, sitting, or lying down. For anyone born human, what greater joy could there be?” [The Four Debts of Gratitude] WND I: 6 (p. 43) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
We are free from suffering in the cycle of birth and death chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” transforming moment-to-moment reality of our life with our original mind of enlightenment.
