We get involved in the Buddha’s life by devoting ourselves to participating in the Buddha’s activities. We can carry out the Buddha’s activities by using our bodies to carry out His work. This is attaining Buddhahood in one’s present form or Sokushin Jōbutsu. It is essentially attaining Buddhahood by receiving the teaching of the Lotus Sūtra and expressing the teachings through one’s body. This means to believe in the Lotus Sūtra, to respect the Buddha, to chant the Odaimoku, and to realize oneself to be a messenger of the Buddha; and thus, work to help Him.
