Since the Buddha’s Ingyō, practice as cause, and katoku, virtues as effect, are contained in the Odaimoku, the merits of our Bodhisattva practices are also contained in the Odaimoku as the Buddha’s merits and are accumulated in the Great Mandala. This means that not only the merits of the Buddha, but also all the merits of the practice of the Bodhisattva way performed by practitioners such as Nichiren Shōnin, his disciples and followers since the beginningless beginning are contained in the Great Mandala and the Odaimoku as merits of Ingyō. We also successfully accumulate merits in this life time. This is how the Ingyō of the Original Buddha produces effects. Therefore, as we receive the merits from the Buddha, the Great Mandala and the Odaimoku by devoting ourselves to them, we also send merits to them as well. How wonderful it is!
