Gosho passage - November 2, 2013

"As I have often mentioned before, it is said that, where there is unseen virtue, there will be visible reward. Your fellow samurai all slandered you to your lord, and he also has wondered if it was true, but because you have for some years now honestly maintained a strong desire for your lord’s welfare in his next life, you received a blessing like this. This is just the beginning; be confident that the great reward also is sure to come."

From Gosho "Unseen Virtue and Visible Reward" (The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 907)
