Satisfaction
Dear Friend,
Every cause chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” comes to be true self of Buddha nature.
Nichiren Daishonin teaches: “Point Four, on the passage “Medicine King, you should know that after the Thus Come One has entered extinction, if there are those who can copy, uphold, read, and recite this sutra, offer alms to it and expound it for others, then the Thus Come One will cover them with his robe. . . . You should know that such persons lodge in the same place as the Thus Come One, and the Thus Come One pats them on the head with his hand.” The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings says: The votaries of the Lotus Sutra, men and women alike, are all Thus Come Ones. [For they exemplify the principles that] earthly desires are enlightenment, and the sufferings of birth and death are nirvana. Now Nichiren and his followers, who chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, are persons who “lodge in the same place as the Thus Come One.” Therefore, Fu Ta-shih says in his commentary, “Morning after morning we rise up with the Buddha, evening after evening we lie down with the Buddha. Moment by moment we attain the way, moment by moment we reveal our true identity.”” [The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings] Chapter Ten: The Teacher of the Law (p.83) http://www.nichirenlibrary.org
With faith, study and practice chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” we dwell with the Buddha each moment transforming ordinary suffering of daily life into complete satisfaction.
Truly yours,
