ON ADMONISHING SLANDER |
Nichiren Daishonin's teacher, Dozenbo, carved Amida Buddha statutes. The Daishonin told him, "If you write Namu Amida Butsu six times you will fall into hell six times. If you write it seven times, you will fall into hell seven times. You can't make an object of worship half way; your whole self goes into making an object of worship." The Daishonin warned Dozenbo of his fate directly, and at the time the slander was being committed. |
