Daily Wisdom - On Offering Prayers to the Mandala of the Mystic Law

From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
Thursday, May 10, 2012:

A woman who takes this efficacious medicine will be surrounded and protected by these four great bodhisattvas at all times. When she rises to her feet, so too will the bodhisattvas, and when she walks along the road, they will also do the same. She and they will be as inseparable as a body and its shadow, as fish and water, as a voice and its echo, or as the moon and its light.

Daily Wisdom - On Offering Prayers to the Mandala of the Mystic Law

From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
Wednesday, February 22, 2012:

Though this mandala has but five or seven characters, it is the teacher of all Buddhas throughout the three existences and the seal that guarantees the enlightenment of all women. It will be a lamp in the darkness of the road to the next world and a fine horse to carry you over the mountains of death. It is like the sun and moon in the heavens or Mount Sumeru on earth. It is a ship to ferry people over the sea of the sufferings of birth and death. It is the teacher who leads all people to Buddhahood and enlightenment.
