Daily Practice - Chanting for safety during the Olympics

Guidance for Sunday 12th August Peace and security daimoku proposal ELA'12:     

When we revere Myoho-renge-kyo inherent in our own life as the object of devotion, the Buddha nature within us is summoned forth and manifested by our chanting of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. This is what is meant by 'Buddha'. To illustrate, when a caged bird signs, birds who are flying in the sky are thereby summoned and gather around, and when the birds flying in the sky gather around, the bird in the cage strives to get out. When with our mouths we chant the Mystic Law, our Buddha nature, being summoned, will invariably emerge. The Buddha nature of Brahma and Shakra, being called, will protect us and the Buddha nature of the Buddhas and bodhisattvas, being summoned, will rejoiced. WND-1 p887
