--July 2-- Nichiren Daishonin writes:"Anyone who teaches others even a single phrase of the Lotus Sutra is the envoy of the Thus Come One."(WND, p33) The Thus Come One refers to the Buddha. Those who talk to another person about the greatness of faith, even if just a few words, are messengers of the Buddha. Through the very act of talking to someone about Buddhism, whether or not that person takes faith, we accumulate boundless benefit and good fortunes as the Buddha's envoys.
