Daily Gosho - Lessening One's Karmic Retribution

So powerful to understand that we can affect our future existence by making the right cause in our present lifetime...


"If one's heavy karma from the past is not expiated within this lifetime, one must undergo the sufferings of hell in the future, but if one experiences extreme hardship in this life [because of the Lotus Sutra], the sufferings of hell will vanish instantly."

(Lessening One's Karmic Retribution - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 199) Selection source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shimbun, July 4th, 2012
