Nichiren on the Jewel of the Profound Character Myo in the Lotus Sutra

Selected excerpts from The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Volume I, published in 1999 by Soka Gakkai (specifically from essay 36, "Letter to the Sage Nichimyo").
In the phrase Namu-myoho-renge-kyo, "myoho" is a key concept in Nichiren Buddhism. Here's a breakdown of its meaning:
Myo: This can be interpreted in several ways, but some common translations include "mystic," "wonderful," or "profound." It signifies the mysterious and profound nature of the law or principle enshrined within the Lotus Sutra.
Ho: This translates to "law" or "principle." In this context, it refers to the universal law that underlies all existence, the law that governs life and the universe.
Therefore, "myoho" can be understood as "the mystic law" or "the wonderful law." It highlights the profound and transformative power of the teachings within the Lotus Sutra.
