Monthly Gosho 2012

February Gosho

“Letter to Priest Nichiro in Prison”
Oct. 9, 1271 (Age 50)

Others read the Lotus Sutra with their mouths alone, reading only the words, but do not read it with their hearts. And even if they read it with their hearts, they do not read it with their actions. Praiseworthy indeed are those like you who read the sutra with both body and mind!
(Gosho p.483『土篭御書』/ MW5-127)

January Gosho

“Onkō kikigaki”
May 28, 1280 (Age 59)

…the most essential of the four universal vows is the pledge to save innumerable living beings. Now, Nichiren and his disciples and followers work to save all mankind through Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo. There is no means other than this.
(Gosho p.1862『御講聞書』)
