“Letter to Soya nyudo”
“Now is the Latter Day of the Law. Those who formed a karmic relationship with [Shakyamuni] Buddha during his lifetime have gradually declined in number, and those who had the capacity to attain Buddhahood through the pre-Lotus Sutra and the Lotus Sutra teachings have completely disappeared. This is the time when someone like Bodhisattva Never Disparaging will make his advent in the Latter Day of the Law and beat the poison drum.“
(Gosho, p. 778)
