The Mongol Envoys

Daily Wisdom
From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
Monday, June 18, 2012:
 
The teachings such as those of the non-Buddhist writings and those of the Hinayana and provisional Mahayana Buddhist scriptures all partially explain the phenomena inherent in one's life. They do not explain them as the Lotus Sutra does. Thus, among the sutras, there are both superior and inferior, and among people also, sages and worthies may be distinguished.

The Mongol Envoys
Written to the lay priest Nishiyama in 1275
