The practice and fulfillment of Nichiren Buddhism begins with the primary practice of chanting Namu Myoho Renge Kyo. The primary practice is supported by the auxiliary practice of reciting passages from the Lotus Sutra, as well as several other dedications, vows, and prayers. Finally, those who practice the Lotus Sutra in this way will find themselves empowered to fulfill the Six Perfections in order to benefit themselves and others. Through these practices, the true spirit of the Buddha’s teaching – which is Namu Myoho Renge Kyo – will manifest itself in every aspect of our lives.
