Daily Wisdom - On Repaying Debts of Gratitude

Daily Wisdom
From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
Sunday, February 26, 2012:

The Great Teacher Tz'u-en wrote a work in ten volumes entitled Praising the Profundity of the Lotus Sutra in which he praised the Lotus Sutra, but the Great Teacher Dengyo criticized it, saying, "Though he praises the Lotus Sutra, he destroys its heart." If we consider these examples carefully, we will realize that, among those who read the Lotus Sutra and sing its praises, there are many who are destined for the hell of incessant suffering.

On Repaying Debts of Gratitude
Written to Joken-bo and Gijo-bo on July 21, 1276
