The Daishonin explains the significance of cause and effect: All sutras other than the Lotus Sutra expound that Buddhahood (effect), can be attained only after having made good causes, that is, practicing their teachings (causes), over a length of time. With the Lotus Sutra, however, the very act of embracing it (cause) enables one simultaneously to become a Buddha (effect).
WELL WELL WELL... As usual, I didn't go for morning gongyo earlier in the morning with my parents. Slept until 12 noon before having my brunch ( breakfast + lunch). Went to Ntuc for grocery shopping. And here I am, resting before commence my studies.
