The Opening of the Eyes

Daily Wisdom

From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
Tuesday, December 4, 2012:

When it comes to understanding the Lotus Sutra, I have only a minute fraction of the vast ability that T'ien-t'ai and Dengyo possessed. But as regards my ability to endure persecution and the wealth of my compassion for others, I believe they would hold me in awe.
