“Reply to Shijo Kingo”

“You also follow me as a votary of the Lotus Sutra and tell many people [about this teaching]. Indeed, this is none other than the propagation [of the Lotus Sutra]. Carry through your faith and practice in the Lotus Sutra. If you strike flint to make a fire, you cannot produce a flame if you stop midway through. Muster your great power of faith so that not only all the people, high and low, of Kamakura but also the entire population of Japan will extol you as “Shijo Kingo of the Hokke sect.”

(Gosho, p. 837)
