The Sutra of True Requital

Daily Wisdom

From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
Sunday, August 26, 2012:

It is easy to sustain our concern for someone who is before our very eyes, but quite a different thing when that person is far away, even though in our heart we may not forget him. Nevertheless, in the five years. . . that have already passed since I came to live here in the mountains, you have sent your husband from the province of Sado to visit me three times. How great is your sincerity! It is firmer than the great earth, deeper than the great sea!

The Sutra of True Requital
Written to the lay nun Sennichi on July 28, 1278
