"Those who believe in the Lotus Sutra are as if in winter, but winter always turns to spring."

"Nichiren Daishonin writes [at the beginning of his treatise 'The Selection of the Time']: 'When it comes to studying the teachings of Buddhism, one must first learn to understand the time' (WND-1, 538). To keenly recognise the right time, seize it, and to take the best course of action with courage and wisdom—that is the creed of practitioners of Nichiren Buddhism."
