We realize that the Eternal and Original Buddha Śākyamuni has always had great compassion toward us. We feel the Buddha’s favor, respect Him, and adore Him and by upholding the Odaimoku verbally and faithfully, we connect our lives with the Original Buddha’s life. We should be aware that the Lotus Sūtra is the Buddha’s real intention and that the Lotus Sūtra and the Odaimoku are the paths to attain Buddhahood. We should endeavor to take the Buddha’s vow as our own. That vow is to save all people and have them attain Buddhahood with the Lotus Sūtra and the Odaimoku, and to help the Buddha through our compassionate activities. By doing so, we are able to participate in the Buddha’s eternal life. We are inspired with joy and we find our true reason for living.
