Now, I would like to talk about
the main characteristics of
Buddha-nature in the following
Five points.
1. In the case of Buddha-nature,
the expressions “Appear” and
“Hide” are used
When considering Buddha-nature,
one of its major characteristics is
that when distinguishing
Buddha-nature, the expressions
“appear” and “hide” are always used.
For example, the expressions
“Buddha-nature appeared in the heart
of the king” or “It hid”.
The heart of the king, even the evil king
and good king, always has Buddha-nature
inherently, so we use such expressions.
This is the same as for day and night,
for example.
In the case of day and night, we also
use the expressions “The sun appears”
and “hides.”
This is because the sun originally exists.
We do not say “The sun occurs” or
“The sun vanishes.”
Buddha-nature is also the same.
Since it’s originally existing, we use
the expressions “Appear” and “Hide.”
In short —
Why use such an expression?
Because Buddha-nature is the
existence that originally is in this
world.
2. Buddha-nature is deeply
connected to Mercy heart
So what happens when Buddha-
nature appears in the king’s heart?
When Buddha-nature appears in
the heart of the king, “Mercy heart
for the citizens” arises.
It also creates “Mercy heart for
other countries.”
On the contrary, what if it hides?
“A heart of Merciless” arises in
the heart of the king.
And he often becomes an evil king.
The reason why this happens is
that the essential characteristic
of Buddha-nature is “Mercy“.
This is the same as the essential
characteristic of the Law of Origin
is “Mercy”.
Buddha-nature is the main body
of the Law of Origin, so naturally
the essential characteristics of
both are the same.
Both are “Mercy.”
Therefore, doing “The work of
transforming an evil king into
a good king,” means that you
make the king’s Buddha-nature
to be appeared.
If you make the king’s Buddha-nature
to be appeared, Mercy heart will arise
in the king’s heart and he will become
a good king.
3. What is needed to make
Buddha-nature appear?
So how do you make the “Buddha-
nature of Evil king” to be appeared?
What concretely do you need to do?
To make the Buddha-nature of the
Evil king to be appeared, you need
two acts of Mercy action and
Wisdom action.
This is the same as “The Act① and
Act②’s Mercy and Wisdom action.”
However, you now make Buddha-
nature to be appeared in Evil king’s
heart and cause Mercy heart in his
heart, so the way of practice is
a little different from so far.
You will do it more concretely than
the form I have talked so far.
Let’s start with Mercy action.
Perform Mercy action in the
following form.
For example, let’s say you have
one person near you. That one
person is the person you work with,
a customer, a colleague at work,
a clerk when buying a hamburger
at some store, or people walking in
the town, etc. It can be anyone.
Then, you strongly think and wish
that “Good luck of that person
will increase.”
That is Mercy action.
Or, at one time, an old man or
grandmother you happened to
meet. The person has a serious
illness and has confided to you
about his (or her) illness.
The person is now going to the
hospital. That person is a one-time
encounter for you only then.
Then you strongly think and wish
that “Good luck of that person
will increase” and “The illness will
be cured.”
That is exactly Mercy action.
Anyway, if there is even one person
by your side, you wish and think for
the increase of the person’s good
luck. That is Mercy action.
In that case, he (or she) will not be
aware that “The mercy action has
been done by you.”
However, that person may be
somehow feeling pleasure or
comfort, because he (or she) was
hoped and thought by you
“The increase of Good Luck.”
I have mentioned so far
“When you perform the Act ①’s
Mercy action, you say ‘Sending Mercy
to all living existence’ in your heart.”
But now, including that shape, please
send mercy in a more concrete form.
For instance, have send mercy directly
to the person in front of you as I said
above.
4. What needs to be done to
expand and strengthen
Mercy action
The next question is how to expand
the effectiveness of your Mercy action.
It is not enough for your Mercy action
to work only on the one person in front
of you.
Now, you must make “Buddha-nature”
to be appeared in the heart of the
Evil king, who is at the center of state
power and invading other nations.
And must cause Mercy heart in his
heart.
Therefore, the effectiveness of your
Mercy action must also be expanded
and strengthened so that it works on
more people.
To expand and strengthen the
effectiveness of your Mercy action,
you use the Buddha-nature
characteristic of “Everyone has
Buddha-nature.”
The characteristic of Buddha-nature
here means “The Buddha-nature
existence form.”
The Buddha-nature existence form is
“One and at the same time infinite
amount, and infinite amount and at
the same time one.”
This is because Buddha-nature is
existing in one individual phenomenon
and at the same time, existing in
innumerable phenomena, too.
As I said earlier, Buddha-nature is
in your personal mind, but at the same
time it is also in “Organization”, such as
a company, society, or nation, etc.
It also exists in the myriad of matter
and life in nature and the universe,
as well as in stars and galaxies.
The Buddha-nature existence form is
very similar to the existence form of
a phenomenon.
In the phenomenon world, human
beings exist as individuals, but at
the same time, they also exist as
groups and organizations such as
company, society, nation, public
people, and human society.
There are also units such as the
Earth, the solar system, and galaxies.
In the micro world, there are many
layers such as molecules, atoms, and
elementary particles, and there are
organizations and individuals.
Similarly, Buddha-nature is in individual
and at the same time in innumerable
organizations and phenomena, too.
Therefore, The Buddha-nature
existence form is “One and at the
same time infinite amount, and infinite
amount and at the same time one.”

In this case, “One” in “One and at the
same time infinite amount, and infinite
amount and at the same time one” is
“One Mercy action that you do.
For instance, let’s say you did
Mercy action to one person close
to you.
Then, through the Buddha-nature
existence form of “One and at the
same time infinite amount, and
infinite amount and at the same
time one”, that effect works on
“Innumerable people and
phenomena.”
Among that “Innumerable people
and phenomena,” there are
Evil kings and Good kings too.
In this way, you make the effect
of your Mercy action work on the
hearts of distant Evil kings.
Also, you make it work on the minds
of many people. And you make
Buddha-nature to be appeared
in their hearts.
In this way, the effect of your Mercy
action is expanded and strengthen.
*
Mercy is an essential characteristic
of “Buddha-nature” and “The Law of
Origin.”
Therefore, if you do Mercy action to
someone close to you, your Mercy
heart sympathizes with the essential
characteristic of Buddha-nature,
“Mercy.” And the two merge.
And through the Buddha-nature that
is being in countless phenomena,
the effect of your Mercy action works
on all people, organizations, societies,
and nations.
When your Mercy action works on the
Evil king, Buddha-nature appears in
the heart of the Evil king and mercy
heart arises.
So what happens when it works on
the King of Goodness?
When your Mercy action works on the
King of Goodness,
1 The good luck of the good king
will increase.
2 The king receives a good impression
by other countries.
3 The king’s lifespan will be extended.
4 The king will be well protected.
As a result, the good king will do more
work and contribute to the well-being
of the citizens.
For example, if the current president
of your country is President Biden,
the president’s lifespan will be extended,
his good luck will increase, will be
well-liked by other countries, and
he will do more work for his citizens.
You can help the president a lot.
Question
Earlier, you said, “If there is one
person close to you, you wish and
think strongly ‘The increase of that
person’s good luck’. That is Mercy
action.”
But what if that one person is not
definitely the one I can send mercy to?
Answer
You don’t have to force yourself to
send Mercy.
Please send it only to the person
you like, or only to those who seem
natural that you “want to send mercy”.
Also, it can be people walking in the
town. They are all good citizens who
live in the same society.
Question
However, it is very difficult for me to
wish for completely unrelated person
or stranger, “I wish the person’s good
luck to be increased.”
For instance, for completely unrelated
people walking down the street, I just
can’t bring myself to wish, “I wish that
person’s good luck to be increased.”
How can I make me feel like that?
Answer
You don’t have to force yourself to
feel that way when you can’t feel that
way.
The heart of Mercy occurs by “En“.
“En” is some kind of trigger.
For example, one day, suppose you
had the opportunity to exchange
a few words of greeting with
a completely unrelated person.
Then, that person’s “Greeting words”
or “Thank you words” were polite, and
suppose you thought
“This person is nice person” or
“This man (or woman) is polite person.”
Then, please wish and think in your
heart, “May that person’s good luck
increase.”
In this way, if there is an opportunity
of any one action even it is “a single
greeting,” there are times when you
can think naturally, “I wish that person’s
good luck to be increased.”
When you send Mercy to others,
it’s only good when you feel that way.
As I said at the beginning, you don’t
have to force yourself to wish the
other person’s good luck.
Question
What if no one is around me?
Answer
If no one is your around, have
strongly wish and think that the
luck of All Things will increase.
Have strongly wish and think
“May the town, the forest, the sea,
the mountains, the society,
the country, the citizens,
All be fortunate, head for happiness,
and win prosperity and comfort.”
That is “The Mercy action of Buddha.“
Also, human life is established only
when there is a good environment.
Therefore, when you wish for an
increase of the good luck of person
around you, it is also important to
wish “May wish the good luck of
All things.”
The word All things includes
all environmental worlds.
In addition, there is a fact that
humans live in coexistence with
living existence other than humans.
With them, human life can be also
established for the first time.
So let’s do not forget to include
the words “Sending Mercy to
All living existence” too, and wish
for it.
