The fundamental goal is to honor the Original Buddha, to have faith in the Lotus Sūtra and to chant the Odaimoku faithfully. By doing so, we receive the Buddha’s great compassion, and we get involved in the Buddha’s life as His messengers. We will improve ourselves, because the Original Buddha’s Ichinen Sanzen is naturally transferred to us. Having gratitude, respect and compassion improves our consciousness of being messengers of the Buddha. When we make efforts to exceed our small ego of self, we are able to become messengers of the Buddha.
