15. Nichiren Suffers the Banishment to Izu. (2)

              Japanese edition


Hokibo carried a hot water to the wooden cup. Nichiren gulped down it as if he had waited impatiently.

Jonin of the head of the family came in there.

Nichiren was smiling.

“Lord Jonin, I really appreciate all of your help”.

Jonin adjusted clothes and sat straight before Nichiren with excruciating politeness.

“I am grateful to have received me august words. My kinsman and co-worker converted into our sect by the sermon of shonin, and I could make friends of the Law. I am most grateful. By the way, it is presumptuous, but I have one thought”.

"Are you saying that about the propagation the Buddha's Law?"

"Yes. How about that you base on the place of this Shimousa from now on? The enemy is not here, unlike Kamakura, and Lord Chiba of the military governor is the influential vassal in the Shogunate. Even if Hojo clan, they do not dabble carelessly. In addition, the hometown of shonin is near, too. The delicious food collected from the sea and mountain, these are superior unlike others. How do you like it?".
 Nichiren answers.
 "Thank you for your kindness. But I, Nichiren intend to spread Law to the last in Kamakura of the center of the power politics of Japan. Kamakura is the capital of this Japan. It is the place where a Japanese ruler resides. I want to spread Law until the ruler holds the Lotus Sutra".
 “The movement of the Shogunate is not known at all after the priest had sent the admonition to lord Saimyoji the other day. I wonder what has thought of the Shogunate about 'the Rissho Ankoku-Ron’. Did the lay priest Saimyoji see it? I probed my way in various ways, but it was no use".

Nichiren answered after he included mouthful hot water.

“Because there are Lord Daigaku Sabro of the official Confucianist or the Lord Yadoya of the Shogunate chief vassal, he must be hearing from them an important thing, even if lord Saimyoji does not look at it. In addition, people around must have been amazed. If lord Saimyoji is a wise man, he surely should understands.”

Jonin mutters in mind.

(What kind of difficulty befalls the priest if Saimyoji is foolish?).
