Therefore, as your late husband chanted “Namu Myōhō Renge Kyō” at the last moment of life, evil karma which he committed during his life or innumerable kalpa (aeons) since the eternal past will be fully transformed into the seed of Buddhahood. This is the doctrine of “evil passions are themselves enlightenment,” “birth and death are themselves Nirvana,” and “attaining Buddhahood with the present body.”
