In This Lifetime
On Attaining Buddhahood in
This Life Time
“If you chant Myoho-renge-kyo with
deep faith in this principle, you are
certain to attain Buddhahood in this
life time.”
This principle – the entity of your
life is in fact the entity of the
Mystic Law.
“if you think the Law is outside
yourself, you are embracing not
the Mystic Law but an inferior
teaching.”
“It is the same with a Buddha and
an ordinary being. When deluded
, one is called an ordinary being,
but when enlightened, one is
called a Buddha.”
The path of chanting entails a
struggle to maintain faith that
Myoho-renge-kyo exists within
us and to defeat the fundamental
darkness inherent in our lives.
The actual practice of daimoku
means chanting Nam-myohorenge-kyo for all people - a
practice aiming for the happiness
of both oneself and others.
Without a challenging or fighting
spirit, we cannot attain
Buddhahood.
