How to do zange
Buddhist Apology
by Vice President Tsuji
Appreciation
- For having the Gohonzon
- For being able to change my karma (Tenju kyoju)
- For being alive at this time
- For all the people around me
- For everything being a teacher for me
Self Realisation
- Realise again the for every external cause (nyo se en), there is first an internal cause (nyo se in)
- Every hurt, anger, frustration, irritation or painful situation that occurs to me is my responsibility
- My karma forced that to happen, or forced them to behave in that way
- Hendoku iyaku... I turn poison into medicine
- Become aware of the external "hooks" that drew such an experience to me
- I, alone am responsible for raising my life condition
Apology
- For current slander in Thought, Word and Action
- Let me not want to do it any more!!!
- Daimoku of altruism: chant for the health and well-being of the person(s) involved, and that they may deepen their faith. Ask the Gohonzon, "What can I do to rectify the situation?"
Determination
- To work harder for koen rufu
- To create value in the areas of family relations, school, job or activities
Only after chanting for all the above, chant for what you desire or want to change or achieve in your life.
