Gosho passage - January 27, 2014

"Buddhism is reason. Reason will win over your lord. No matter how dearly you may love your wife and wish never to part from her, when you die, it will be to no avail. No matter how dearly you may cherish your estate, when you die, it will only fall into the hands of others. You have been prosperous enough for all these years. You must not give your estate a second thought. As I have said before, be millions of times more careful than ever."

From Gosho "The Hero of the World" (The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin Volume I, page 839)
