Day 82 - Employ the Strategy of the Lotus Sutra


"Employ the strategy of the Lotus Sutra before any other. “All others who bear you enmity or malice will likewise be wiped out.” These golden words will never prove false. The heart of strategy and swordsmanship derives from the Mystic Law. Have profound faith. A coward cannot have any of his prayers answered." (WND, 1001)

This is one of my favorite quotes from Nichiren Daishonin’s writings. Many times my own fundamental darkens appears as fear in my life and holds me back but in this quote the Daishonin explains that courage derived from faith in the Mystic Law is not only the key to any battle but also guarantees absolute victory.
