The Lotus Sutra is more than a theoretical teaching to ponder. It is a teaching that repeatedly both demonstrates action as well as instructs each practitioner to engage in action. The formula that Nichiren gave us is the action of Namu based upon Myoho Renge Kyo. It isn’t simply a devotion to the Lotus Sutra. It is a devotion to all of life from the Lotus Sutra manifest in our individual actions.
