106 Last Religious Precepts of Nikko (2)

                  Japanese Edition


The last religious precepts of these 26 items are not Nikko's thought. These are the things which gathered teachings of teacher Nichiren to the last, and there are all the reasons of each item to writings which Nichiren left, and these all items are based on the spirit questing for Law that we must not violate teachings of Nichiren, the fundamental Buddha, of the Latter-Day of the Law even in one character or one phrase either. It is written in the beginning "The doctrine of Fuji should not be different in the least from the propagation which the Daishonin performed".

Furthermore,

14. In the case of the practitioner like "One's body is insignificant, the Law is heavy", even if he was the Buddhist priest of a low-ranking, you must respect him by the reason of "Showing him the same respect you would do the Buddha."

15. Even if he is a junior, in the case of a Buddhist priest of propagating the Law, you should think him to be an old priest with virtue.

16. Even if he was a vulgar person, you should respect him if he is superior in wisdom than you and treat him as a teacher."

The strong thought that Nikko entrusted the disciple believer of after ages with is coming from these three articles. These are saying. We should learn the justice of teacher Nichiren without regard to the difference in viewpoint and difference in social position and a person according to that justice looks up as a teacher and should be worshiped, let the root and origin through "the Law" that Nichiren established.

17. If he differed from Law of Buddha and established his own doctrine, even if he was the priest of the top of that time, you must not adopt this.

18. If it has a difference with the Buddha's Law, even if it was a resolution of large numbers of people, a top priest must defeat it".

These two items embody the principle of "relying upon the Law and not depending on a person" which Nichiren described as follows in 'The Duty of Repaying Favor' definitely. "'Rely upon the Law', it means all the Buddhist sutras. 'Not depend on a person ', it means Manjusri Bodhisattva, Hugen Bodhisattva and the various Buddhist priests and so on other than Buddha."

Nikko's funeral was held on February 8 (The second year of the Shokei era) in 1333. The ceremony of the holy funeral service of this time imitates "the holy funeral service record of the sect founder" that Nikko recorded the ceremony of the holy funeral service of Nichiren by himself. Nichigo appointed from Nikko as one person of the new six priests of virtue has written record as "the funeral record of Nikko Shonin", and this is possessed now in the Hota Myohonji Temple.

It is listed in following "the funeral record of Nikko Shonin" that Nichigo write that a then disciple or believer, for example the three children of Tokimitsu Nanjo, or children of the older brother who died young, of Nikko participated many.
