Daily Wisdom
From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
Friday, August 17, 2012:
Rice is what sustains life. It is like the oil that sustains the life of the lamp. The Lotus Sutra is a lamp, and its votary is the oil that sustains it. Or again, the lay supporters are the oil that sustains the lamp of the votary.
King Rinda
