The Actions of the Votary of the Lotus Sutra

Daily Wisdom


From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
Thursday, September 6, 2012:

Even if my counsel is heeded, if I am not given due respect as the votary of the Lotus Sutra, then the country will perish. How ominous that the authorities have turned hundreds of persons against me and have even banished me twice! This country is surely doomed, but since I have asked the gods to withhold their punishment on our land, it has survived until now. However, that punishment has finally descended because these unreasonable actions continued.
