"You absolutely must not lament over my exile. It says in the “Encouraging Devotion” chapter and in the “Never Disparaging” chapter [that the votary of the Lotus Sutra will meet with persecution]. Life is limited; we must not begrudge it. What we should ultimately aspire to is the Buddha land."
From Gosho "Aspiration for the Buddha Land" (The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin Volume I, page 214)
