Buddha-ness is up to you. Like teaching a child to understand the world correctly, it is on you to clear your mind.

Why am I not Happy?

What is Happiness?

On return from Sado Island and his moving to Mt. Minobu, Nichiren sets down his insights into the relative teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha.

There is only one teacher/parent/master of our worldly manifestation to emulate attainment of Buddha. All others are emanations (teaching tools) of Shakyamuni.

The instantiations of energies from Noumena to all Phenomena Form the momentum of Life/Time/Space. This process perceived in the mind as Buddha.

Just as a ”map”, can be separated into sections, from beginning to end, it is only the arrival at the destination that provides the value of the map.

Your Buddha-mind, the awakening of Buddha in your Samsaric mind, is the Most Venerable One. You are qualified, you are capable, you are a manifestation of this very state of being.

We are Sangha. Innately manifested of Buddha, we strive to awaken our Consciousness of Buddha. Together, throughout the 3000 Realms, we share our efforts, influence and practice.

We are manifest today from the exact same energies of the instantiation of this universe. Realization of this process of ”Formations” is the enlightenment that liberates our momentary life.

Moving from the Spiritual Contemplation, Nichiren now begins to describe the actualization of contemplation to the experience (embodiment) of Buddhahood.
