Daily Wisdom
From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
Saturday, September 15, 2012:
The deeper the roots, the more luxuriant the branches. The farther the source, the longer the stream. All sutras other than the Lotus Sutra have shallow roots and short streams, while the Lotus Sutra has deep roots and a distant source. That is why the Great Teacher T'ien-t'ai stated that the Lotus Sutra would survive and spread even in the evil latter age.
The Farther the Source, the Longer the Stream
