Gosho passage - May 23, 2014

"How does the mirror of the Lotus Sutra portray the people who, in the evil world of the latter age, believe in the teachings of the Lotus Sutra just as they are set forth in the sutra? Shakyamuni Buddha has left us words from his golden mouth revealing that such people have already made offerings to a hundred thousand million Buddhas in their past existences."

From Gosho "The Proof of the Lotus Sutra" (The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin Volume I, page 1108)
