Nichiren’s Buddhismis a
profound teaching and by practicing it we are able to achieve our goals
in life, control the manifestations and circumstances in our environment,
and acquire the life-condition of Buddhahood, or unshakable happiness.
It is important to understand, however, the practical application of
this practice in our daily lives. It is incorrect to think that chanting
by itself, that is chanting without making serious efforts to bring
about our own human revolution, will be effective. To use a well-known
metaphor, that is like expecting a paycheck without working. We must
make the causes to reach our goals, not simply wait for them to appear. Nichirenteaches us that though we may have experienced frustration
in our lives when our efforts seemingly do not produce the desired effect,
summoning faith in the power of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo will definitely
yield great benefit. Source:
