Letter to Jakunichi-bo

Daily Wisdom
From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
Saturday, December 15, 2012:
 
"This person as he advances through this world" means that the first five hundred years of the Latter Day of the Law will witness the advent of Bodhisattva Superior Practices, who will illuminate the darkness of ignorance and earthly desires with the light of the five characters of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. In accordance with this passage, Nichiren, as this bodhisattva's envoy, has urged the people of Japan to accept and uphold the Lotus Sutra. His unremitting efforts never slacken, even here on this mountain.

Letter to Jakunichi-bo
Written to Jakunichi-bo Nikke on September 16, 1279
