From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
Friday, March 9, 2012:
Our contemporaries think of the five characters of Myoho-renge-kyo only as a name, but this is not correct. It is the essence, that is, the heart of the Lotus Sutra. . . . Those who seek the heart of the sutra apart from its title are as foolish as the turtle who sought the monkey's liver outside the monkey, or the monkey who left the forest and sought fruit on the seashore.
This is What I Heard
Written to the lay priest Soya Jiro on November 28, 1277
