Hi, I'm reading this book and wanted to share this quote with you.
"A baby does not know the difference between water and fire, and cannot distinguish medicine from poison. But when the baby sucks milk, its life is nourished and sustained. Although one may not be versed [in various sutras] . . . if one listens to even one character or one phrase of the Lotus Sutra, one cannot fail to attain Buddhahood. (WND-1, 513) Just as a baby will grow naturally of its own accord by drinking milk, if you earnestly chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with faith in the Gohonzon, your life will definitely come to shine with immeasurable good fortune and benefit. To cite another example: Dogs have a language in the world of dogs, and birds have a language in the world of birds. While people cannot understand these languages, dogs and birds can certainly communicate within their own species. Also, though some people do not understand scientific jargon or a particular language, others can communicate very well in these languages. Similarly, it might be said that when we are reciting the sutra or chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, we are speaking in the language of Buddhas and bodhisattvas. Even though you may not understand what you are saying, your voice definitely reaches the Gohonzon, all Buddhist deities, and all Buddhas and bodhisattvas over the three existences and in the ten directions. In response, the entire universe bathes you in the light of good fortune." (from "The Heart of the Lotus Sutra" by Daisaku Ikeda)
