Like the cherry, plum,peach, and damson, we are all physically different and vary in age. Our individual personalities are also different. However, by chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo we can directly attain enlightenment in our present, individual forms.
written by Nichiren Daishonin, 13th century Japan
Buddhism teaches that all life forms are born into different circumstances based on their individual causes (karma) from past lives. Accordingly, people are born different because the karma they possess is different.*
