Gosho passage - November 23, 2013

"Ultimately, all phenomena are contained within oneâ??s life, down to the last particle of dust. The nine mountains and the eight seas are encompassed in oneâ??s body, and the sun, moon, and myriad stars are found in oneâ??s life. We, however, are like a blind person who is incapable of seeing the images reflected in a mirror, or like an infant who has no fear of water or fire."

From Gosho "The Mongol Envoys" (The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 628)
