📖“How, without cutting off their delusions and renouncing their five desires, can they also purify their sense faculties and completely eliminate the accumulated karma of their wrongs?

📖“If people receive, embrace, read, recite, rightly bear in mind, practice, and copy this Dharma Flower Sutra, they will thereby see Shakyamuni Buddha, which is no different from hearing this sutra directly from the Buddha’s mouth.—The Lotus Sutra
Namu Myoho Renge Kyo
#NichirenBuddhism

🗣️The most important thing for such bodhisattvas is the spirit of loving and benefiting others, and the practical action that springs from that spirit. This action is called ‘donation’.—Nikkyo Niwano
Namu Myoho Renge Kyo

📖“Those who receive, embrace, read, and recite this sutra, rightly bear it in mind, comprehend its meaning, and practice it as taught will, in fact, be practicing the deeds of Universal Sage.

📖“The first of them is to be safeguarded by the buddhas, the second is planting many roots of virtue, the third is joining the assembly of those resolved to become awakened, and the fourth is aspiring to liberate all living beings.—The Lotus Sutra
Namu Myoho Renge Kyo
#NichirenBuddhism

The mistake is chanting Namu Myoho Renge Kyo while holding a private verdict that it will not work. Nichiren Daishonin called that disbelief a form of slander against the Law, dividing the cause in half. #NichirenBuddhism

Most people who chant daimoku every day are making one mistake that quietly cancels the effect they are chanting for. It has nothing to do with pronunciation, posture, or speed. #Buddhism #NichirenBuddhism #Daimoku

🗣️Training is no more, and no less, than the effort you put into developing the strength of spirit that keeps you from being discouraged no matter what sorrows or ill fortune befall you and allows you to correctly overcome whatever problems you may encounter.—Nikkyo Niwano

Namu Myoho Renge Kyo
#NichirenBuddhism
