People know how difficult it is to do Otsutome every day, and that each day it is a battle between ego and faith. However, the Buddha teaches us how to control the ego and our own desires. After overcoming such a challenge, you will become comfortable with Odaimoku. Performing Otsutome is not a duty, but proof of your faith to the Buddha and Nichiren Shonin. Continuing to chant is such a wonderful experience, and you will want to perform Otsutome every day, and like me, you will say, “I wonder how wonderful tomorrow will be!”
