The recitation of Namu Myoho Renge Kyo is the verbal expression of our heartfelt wish to attain Buddhahood. It is also a statement of our firm faith that Buddhahood is the true nature of our lives, which can be realized anew in every moment. In avowing these ideas, we plant the seed of awakening within our lives and within the lives of others. The more we nourish this seed through our practice, the more our life will manifest the qualities of a buddha.
