(Selecting the Right Time)
By Nichiren Shonin, Translated by Kyotsu Hori, published 1989,
239 pages, Hardbound, Bilingual (English, Japanese)
Written in the first year
of the Kenji Era (1275), roughly a year after Nichiren Shonin's
retreat into Mt. Minobu at the age of 53. Ever since writing
the Kyo-ki-ji-koku-sho(Essay on the Teaching, Capacity of
Those to Be Taught, and Time and Place of Preaching), St.
Nichiren had kept on reminding himself and his followers of
the five principles which practitioners of the Lotus Sutra
should keep in mind in respect to the method of preaching:
teaching, capacity for faith and understanding of those to
whom the preaching is directed, time of the preaching, place
of the preaching, and the sequence of the preaching. Keeping
this five principle doctrine in mind, St. Nichiren insisted
in this Senji-sho that the time was such that without the
essential section (hommon) of the Lotus Sutra, there was no
way to reverse the declining fortunes of Japan, and that he,
Nichiren, was the very teacher who would propagate the essential
section of the Lotus Sutra. He further exhorted his disciples
to recite the NAMU MYOHO-RENGE-KYO and propagate the essential
section of the Lotus Sutra, declaring that there is no other
way to Buddhahood.
