Gosho Passage of Nichiren Daishonin for November 2026
“A Sage Knows the Three Existences of Life
“Who should we acknowledge as the votary of the Lotus Sutra in the last Five-hundred-year Period? I was yet unable to trust my own wisdom in this matter; however, [the accuracy of my predictions of] rebellion and invasion has convinced me of my wisdom. I would not purposely disclose this to others. Even so, my disciples should know and acknowledge that I, Nichiren, am the votary of the Lotus Sutra.”
(Gosho, p. 748)
