"In general,
every time we do gongyo and chant daimoku,
we praise the Buddha nature in our own lives.
We also praise the Buddha nature
in the lives of all others,
and we commune
with the Buddha nature of the Universe.
What a solemn ceremony this is!
How fortunate we are
to live according to the principle
that faith expresses itself in daily life."
The Heart of the Lotus Sutra, by Daisaku Ikeda, page 117
