The essence of the Buddha’s mind is revealed chanting “Nam Myoho renge Kyo” opening great benefits within our own mind of true self, eternity, purity and happiness.
Nichiren Daishonin writes: “The mind
represents the spiritual aspect, and the voice, the physical aspect. The spiritual aspect manifests itself in the physical. A person can know another’s mind by listening to the voice. This is because the physical aspect reveals the spiritual aspect. The physical and spiritual, which are one in essence, manifest themselves as two distinct aspects; thus the Buddha’s mind found expression as the written words of the Lotus Sutra. These written words are the Buddha’s mind in a different form. Therefore, those who read the Lotus Sutra must not regard it as consisting of mere written words, for those words are in themselves the Buddha’s mind.” [Opening the Eyes of Wooden and Painted Images] WND I: 11 (p. 86) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
In any single-moment our ordinary expression of the nine realms chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” simultaneously opens and reveals Buddha nature in our present form.
