In the infinite past of kuon-ganjo, the True Buddha named the ultimate Law or true entity of life in the universe as Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo. \u00a0In view of the person, the life of the True Buddha, Nichiren Daishonin himself is \u201cNam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Literally \u201cNam\u201d means devotion and \u201cMyoho-Renge-Kyo\u201d is the title of the Lotus Sutra. \u00a0A simplified translation means \u201cDevotion to the Mystic Law of the Lotus Sutra.\u201d \u00a0Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo is also called the mystic Law of cause and effect, because within it is both the cause and effect of attaining Buddhahood. \u00a0\u201cRenge\u201d means Lotus Flower. \u00a0The Lotus Flower produces its flower and seeds at the same time, representing the simultaneity of cause and effect. \u00a0The cause is to chant Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and the effect is attaining enlightenment.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Even though Buddhahood exists within our lives, we are unaware of it until we begin to chant to the Gohonzon. \u00a0It is important to understand that without fusing with the life of the True Buddha we cannot actualize it in our own lives. \u00a0Once we awaken to this true entity within our lives, we can manifest the immeasurable wisdom and power to overcome adversity and reveal our own enlightened life.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Just as the word \u201cIndia\u201d in\u00adcludes within itself all the mountains, rivers, treasures and people of India, Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo in\u00adcludes within itself all of the teachings and benefits of Buddhist practice. \u00a0The depth and significance of chanting Daimoku (Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo) cannot be fully explained. \u00a0You must experience it through practice, in order to grasp the meaning and benefits within your own life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
