Gosho 秋元御書 Letter to Akimoto

()()(あい)身命(しんみょう)但惜(たんじゃく)()上道(じょうどう)と説かれ身軽法(しんきょうほう)(じゅう)()(しん)()(ほう)と釈せられし是なり、

“We care nothing for our bodies or lives but are anxious only for the unsurpassed way,” says the Lotus Sutra. And the commentary states, “One’s body is insignificant while the Law is supreme. One should give one’s life in order to propagate the Law”.

The Lotus Sutra states,We do not hold our own lives dear but seek only the unsurpassed way”. The same is indicated in the passage that states,One’s body is insignificant while the Law is supreme”, and willing to give one’s life to propagate the Law”.

過去遠遠劫(おんのんごう)より今に仏に成らざりける事は加様の事に恐れて云い出さざりける故なり、

The reason you have not succeeded in attaining Buddhahood from countless distant kalpas in the past down to the present is that when a situation such as this has arisen you have been too fearful to speak out. And in the future as well, this principle will prevail.

The reason why one has not attained enlightenment since one’s distant past existences is because he has been afraid to speak out [fearing persecutions as a result of propagating the Lotus Sutra].

未来も(また)(また)是くの如くなるべし、(いま)日蓮が身に(あた)りてつみ知られて候、

Now I, Nichiren, understand these things because of what I myself have undergone.

This also applies to the future. I, Nichiren, am able to understand this very well form the persecution that have befallen me.

(たと)い此の事を知る弟子等の中にも当世の(せめ)のおそろしさと申し、(つゆ)の身の消え(がた)きに()りて(あるい)は落ち或は心(ばか)りは信じ或はとかうす、

But even if there are those among my disciples who understand them, they fear the accusations of the times; believing that their lives, which are as frail as dew, are in fact to be relied upon, they backslide, keep their beliefs hidden in their hearts, or behave in other such ways.

Even among my disciples who are aware [of the consequences], some are afraid of accusations, such as those we have experienced in recent years; some begrudge their lives, even though their lives will vanish like the dew; some abandon their faith; some have faith only in their hearts; and others are just confused.
