Reply to the Wife of Matsuno

Daily Wisdom
From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
Wednesday, June 20, 2012:

In your position as a woman, you have made offerings to the Lotus Sutra in this defiled latter age. Therefore, King Brahma will look after you with his divine eye, Shakra will press his palms together and pay obeisance to you, the earthly deities will delight in reverently holding up your feet, and Shakyamuni Buddha will extend his hand from Eagle Peak to pat your head.
