On Recommending This Teaching to Your Lord and Avoiding the Offense of Complicity in Slander

Daily Wisdom


From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
Wednesday, September 26, 2012:

Although at heart you are of the same mind as Nichiren, since your person is in service to your lord, it would have been extremely difficult for you to have avoided the offense of complicity in slander. How admirable it is that, despite this, you communicated this teaching to your lord and urged him to take faith in it. Even though he may fail to accept it now, you have managed to avoid the offense of complicity.

On Recommending This Teaching to Your Lord and Avoiding the Offense of Complicity in Slander
