If we repeat the Daimoku, and rigorously purify our thoughts, our bad appetites and passions will disappear of themselves, and we shall become inspired with the pure and lofty ethics of our Sect. In walking or resting, standing or lying, speaking or keeping silence, acting or refraining from action – in all these situations we may attain to the mysterious deliverance; birth, old age, disease and death will disappear of themselves; fears, sorrows, pains and troubles vanish away forever, leaving nothing behind them but eternity, purity, enlightenment and peace. Thus we find ourselves in the Paradise of Buddhas, living in the Land of Glorious Light. Therefore the [Lotus Sutra] says, “We ought to know that this place is the Kaidan.” In other words, any place whatever, where we practise the doctrines of the [Lotus Sutra], is fit to be a Kaidan. And if it is fit to be a Kaidan it is in habited by all the Buddhas. Such is the nature of the Kaidan as taught by our Sect.
