Daily Gosho Passage - 14 February

Nam - Myoho - Renge - Kyo

As you crave food when hungry, seek water when thirsty, long to see a
lover, beg for medicine when ill, or as a beautiful woman desires
powder and rouge, so should you put your faith in the Lotus Sutra. If
you do not, you will regret it later.

Zen nonsense! The Sutras are what got your sect to where it is.

If it were not for the Great Concentration and Insight (Maka Shikan),
there would be no Zen! Nichiren did not ever denigrate Dogen because
his Zen practice was based on the Lotus Sutra. He was only against the
perverted versions of Zen that denied the sutras, because without the
sutras Zen has no basis.

All the mind games you want to play cannot deny the fact that Zen
exists because of the sutras, and I don't know of any Buddhist sect
that teaches ignorance as a path to enlightenment!
