Letter to Niike

Daily Wisdom

From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
Sunday, November 25, 2012:

 

Strive ever harder in faith, and never give in to negligence. All the people appear to believe sincerely when they first embrace the Lotus Sutra, but as time passes, they tend to become less devout; they no longer revere nor make offerings to the priest, giving themselves up to arrogance and forming distorted views. This is most frightening.
