--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Can anything exceed the sun and moon in brightness? Can anything surpass the lotus flower in purity? The Lotus Sutra is the sun and moon and the lotus flower. Therefore it is called the Lotus Sutra of the Wonderful Law. Nichiren, too, is like the sun and moon and the lotus flower."
(Easy Delivery of a Fortune Child - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 186)
