""First of all, as to the question of where exactly hell and the Buddha exist, one sutra states that hell exists underground, and another sutra says that the Buddha is in the west. Closer examination, however, reveals that both exist in our five-foot body. This must be true because hell is in the heart of a person who inwardly despises his father and disregards his mother. It is like the lotus seed, which contains both blossom and fruit. In the same way, the Buddha dwells within our hearts. For example, flint has the potential to produce fire, and gems have intrinsic value. We ordinary people can see neither our own eyelashes, which are so close, nor the heavens in the distance. Likewise, we do not see that the Buddha exists in our own hearts." - Nichiren Avici (Hell 👹) and Buddahood (Heaven 😇) both exist in our hearts. It is important to reveal your Buddhahood. 😉 By the way, I am a big fan of Avicii 🇸🇪 What a cool name he chose! Also, I like Niverna too. Niverna is the goal of the Buddhist path 👯♂️💃🕺👯♂️ From Gosho "New Year’s Gosho" (The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin Volume I, page 1137) #nichiren #buddhism #avicii #niverna #nmrk #gosho
