* Apologies for yesterday's mistake in Daily Encouragement! "Brotherhood" should indeed have been "Buddhahood," the automatic "spell check" caught us off guard!

March 26th-April 1st, 2018
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Buddhism is all about
the two existences of present and future.
What's important is to always,
by chanting daimoku, start anew
right from this moment,
right where we are.
Today again, let's challenge the "drama"
of our human revolution,
in the very best of spirits.

"From this single element of mind spring all the various lands and environmental conditions."
(The Unanimous Declaration by the Buddhas of the Three Existences regarding the Classification of the Teachings and Which Are to Be Abandoned and Which Upheld
- WND, VoI. 1, page 843)

"Chanting is a solemn ceremony that draws forth our inherent Buddahood and makes it shine, while also summoning forth the Buddha nature of all living beings of the Ten Worlds.
"This 'summoning' is done by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo to the Gohonzon. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is the name of our Buddha nature. We call its name when we chant, and our Buddha nature emerges in response. This also summons forth the Buddha nature of all others.
"Our happiness is our responsibility, not someone else's; it is something we must build for ourselves. Blaming our unhappiness on others serves no purpose. Ultimately, we are responsible for our own lives. The sound of our daimoku makes our lives shine their brightest."
The Buddhism of the Sun - Illuminating the World, (25) A Religion of Human revolution - Part 5, Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is the Direct Path to Happiness, from the May edition of the Daibyakurenge 2017, translation released January 2018 .
