Nam – Myoho – Renge – Kyo
Strive even Harder in faith and never give in to negligence. Everyone
appears to believe sincerely when he first embraces the Lotus Sutra,
but as time p*****, he tends to become less devout; he no longer
reveres nor serves the priest and arrogantly forms distorted views.
This is most frightening. Be diligent in developing your faith until
the last moment of your life. Otherwise you will have regrets. For
example, the journey from Kamakura to Kyoto takes takes twelve days.
If you travel for eleven but stop on the twelfth, how can you admire
the moon the moon over the capital?
