Different bodies and A Same Mind. 異体同心事

Different bodies and A Same Mind.

August 1279. Fifty-eight years old.


If Hokibo, Sadobo, the others, and the Atsuwara believers have a same mind even if they are different, they will achieve everything. However, in the case of different minds each other, they cannot accomplish anything even if together. This is already proved in more than 3000 scrolls of non-Buddhist. Though King Chou of Yin led seven hundred thousand soldiers into battle, they lost for having different minds each other, to the contrary, King Wu and his only eight hundred men of Chou got victory because they were united with harmony like the one mind. If has two minds, even one individual is certain to end in failure for a mind's conflict. Even if there are 100 or 1000 people, if they are one mind, they can accomplish the purpose by all means. Although there are many people in Japan, they will find it difficult to accomplish anything because they have different minds each other even if they are same. In contrast, though Nichiren and his followers are small numbers and are different each other, because they are same mind, I believe they will accomplish their great purpose and the Lotus Sutra will spread by all means. Though there is much evils, these cannot win to the single good action. For example, just as many fires gathering are quenched by a single water. This is the case about Nichiren and his followers too.

You have devoted your life and respected the Lotus Sutra for many years, and in addition, you showed superior will during the recent incidents [at Atsuhara]. Many people are mentioning you, and my disciples are saying so too. I am listening one by one and reporting to the god of the sun and to the Sun goddess.
