Daily Wisdom - Persecution by Sword and Staff

From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
Wednesday, May 9, 2012:

As you crave food when hungry, seek water when thirsty, long to see a lover, beg for medicine when ill, or as a beautiful woman desires powder and rouge, so should you put your faith in the Lotus Sutra. If you do not, you will regret it later.

Daily Wisdom - Persecution by Sword and Staff

rom the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
Friday, April 20, 2012:

From the time that I was born until today, I, Nichiren, have never known a moment's ease; I have thought only of propagating the daimoku of the Lotus Sutra. I do not know how long I or anyone else may live, but without fail, I will be with you at the time of your death and guide you from this life to the next.
