21. correspondence between the Buddha and our minds
Chanting the Odaimoku whole-heartedly is of great importance for realizing the correspondence between the Buddha and our minds and receiving many manifested benefits. However, if we’re chanting the Odaimoku absent-mindedly or chanting while sleeping, the benefits will naturally be minimized. The Buddha is seeing into our minds all the time.
真剣に御題目口唱に励む事が大切で、真剣な御題目口唱によって仏さまと私達の心とが感応道交し、数多くの現証御利益をいただく事が出来ます。しかしながら、居眠りやいい加減な口唱では、当然ながら御利益の感得は適いません。仏さまは常に私達の心の中を御照覧なのです。
*1. correspondence between the Buddha and our minds: 感応道交
