Where do you start when your room holds only a plain wall and a quiet corner? You start RIGHT THERE.
The Gohonzon lives within your own life. Nichiren Daishonin taught that the Buddha nature belongs to ordinary people, and your voice calls it forth. A clean space, a steady breath, and one round of Namu Myoho Renge Kyo form a COMPLETE beginning.
Sit down today. Face the wall. Let the corner become your place of practice. Open your mouth and chant with a sincere voice.
Each voice of Namu Myoho Renge Kyo carries the FULL CAUSE for attaining Buddhahood. Kyo means voice, and your voice does the Buddha's work in this very room. Even a single recitation plants a seed that holds incalculable virtue. Understanding grows as you continue, and the benefit begins with the first sound.
The wall in front of you works like a mirror. Your own life looks back at you, and chanting polishes that mirror until it shines.
Every practice begins with a first voice. A quiet corner, a morning, a determined heart. Your practice begins at this moment, and the Law responds to what you do RIGHT NOW.
Chant today. Chant tomorrow. Let the voice become the rhythm of your days.
Namu Myoho Renge Kyo.
