“Attaining Buddhahood in this Lifetime”

(“Issho jobutsu-sho”)

A mind that is presently clouded by illusions originating from the fundamental darkness of life is like a tarnished mirror. Yet, once it is polished, it will become a clear mirror of absolute truth. Arouse deep faith and polish your mirror night and day without neglect. How should you polish it? You should do so by single-mindedly chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo.

(Gosho, p. 46)
