When we begin our daily practice we are advised to clean our practice space. We should approach that just as the Buddha did when the congregation asked to see Many Treasures Buddha. We have approached our altar, our chance to sit before the great honzon presented to us in the Lotus Sutra, which Nichiren identified. We should prepare our space of worship the way the Buddha purified all the worlds. As we go about preparing our space we should call back our distracted thoughts, those emanations of ourselves. Put aside the need to check the cell phone, put aside the worry of email, and schedules, plans and schemes. Focus your mind completely on the one great event of being in the presence of the two Buddhas seated side by side, in the presence of the Eternal Buddha Shakyamuni.
