“Reply to Myoho-bikuni”

“In his teachings, the Buddha gives us the following admonishment: If one is fearful and hesitant to propagate [the Law] when encountering an enemy of the Lotus Sutra, then this person is an enemy of Shakyamuni Buddha. No matter how wise or good one may be, it is certain that such an individual will fall into the hell of incessant suffering. It is like a child who sees that a stranger is trying to kill his parents but does not warn them of the danger. Moreover, it is as if you, as a vassal, knowing that someone is plotting the downfall of the king, do not remonstrate with him, because you fear that you will suffer hardships.”

(Gosho, p. 1262)
