Gosho passage - January 9, 2014

"Nothing surpasses the Law in its ability to cause birth, nurturing, maturity, and prosperity. [...] To conceive a desire to seek the way through the power of the Law is to be born. To follow the Law from beginning to end is to be nurtured. To harvest the supreme fruit of Buddhahood is to reach maturity. To appear in various forms in the phenomenal world for the salvation of others is to prosper. Although these four stages differ from one another, they all take the Law as their basis.”"

From Gosho "The Unmatched Blessings of the Law" (The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 973)
