Gosho Passage - March 27, 2022

"[...] each character in the Lotus Sutra is like a single wish-granting jewel, and the innumerable characters of the sutra are like innumerable jewels. The character myo was uttered by two tongues: the tongues of Shakyamuni and Many Treasures. The tongues of these two Buddhas are like an eight-petaled lotus flower, one petal overlapping another, on which rests a jewel, the character of myo."

From Gosho "Letter to the Sage Nichimyo" (The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin Volume I, page 323)
