16. Tokiyori Pardons Nichiren. (6)

Japanese edition


They go the Wakamiya thoroughfare. A passerby knowing Nichiren raises a voice in wonder when they come near the residence of the Matsuba valley.

“Everybody, Nichiren Shonin came back cheerily!”.

Both Nichiren and Nikko stand in front of a hall with deep emotion.

Boy Kumao found them and embraced Nichiren in full speed.

The woman in the store chats up him.

“Welcome home. Dear Shonin”.

It is an ironical thing.

When he left Kamakura, the people laughed, but they completely changed and celebrated him when was pardoned.

Believers of more than 100 waited for a return of Nichiren in a hall.

Teacher Nichiren is not a criminal anymore. The faces which overflowed with joy gather.

Shijo Kingo and Toki Jonin and others met them with a smile. Nichigannnyo of the wife of Kingo hold a baby in her arms.

Nichiren exchanged with greetings to each one and found a baby before long.

"Oh, this...".

Shijo Kingo lowered the head deeply.

“Thanks to shonin, she got well. Though I wondered what would happen at one point, this is the force of the marvelous Law of Buddha”.

Hearing the recovery of the condition of the baby of Kingo whom Nichiren trusts, his joy is not ordinary.

“Of course, it is the power of the Lotus Sutra. However, the real reason is that there was the strength of the faiths of the couple. The illness disappeared away because it was brave faiths. Come on”.

Nichiren received a baby quietly and dandled her and he frolicked as if together his own child. As if there were not the trouble of the banishment at all.

Kingo stared Nichiren and heartily thought it the good fortune that his baby was embraced by the priest.


The sun begins to sink to the place of Matsuba Valley.

Believers gathered because Nichiren would preach after an interval of two years.

The Nembutsu monk of the black robe either comes. People looked from a window too.

 “I was pardoned and was able to return to Kamakura now. This is because lord Kamakura knew that this punishment has been caused from the slander of the vassals. Like the propagation of Tendai and Dengyo Daishi, one must determine the right or wrong of the Law of Buddha in the public place. What will it mean evading because they cannot win in the argument of the doctrine of Buddhism, entrapping the Buddhist priest of the partner to sin? To block teachings of Buddha is to threaten a country. This depends on evil of the Nembutsu and Zen Buddhism, not is an error of the politics. The Lotus Sutra says; 'Even the presence of the Buddha still had much jealousy. It goes without saying after Buddha' There was a persecution even at the time of the Buddha. Besides, there is still more persecutions in the wicked world of Mappo now. I realized it in this persecution deeply in my mind. A difficulty befalls for certain if everybody chants Nam-myoho-renge-kyo aloud. In addition, if you do not meet difficulties, you will not hold the Buddha's Law. Becoming a Buddha is not difficult, but keeping the Lotus Sutra is difficult”.


Continued to the Persecution of Komatsubara that Nichiren Suffered a Wound in Forehead.
