The Recitation of the "Expedient Means" and "Life Span" Chapters

Daily Wisdom

From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
Sunday, June 3, 2012:

 

As I said before, though no chapter of the Lotus Sutra is negligible, among the entire twenty-eight chapters, the "Expedient Means" chapter and the "Life Span" chapter are particularly outstanding. The remaining chapters are all in a sense the branches and leaves of these two chapters. Therefore, for your regular recitation, I recommend that you practice reading the prose sections of the "Expedient Means" and "Life Span" chapters.
