By Nichiren Shonin, Translated
by Taikyo Yajima, published 1997, 296 pages, Hardbound, Bilingual
(English, Japanese)
With Nichiren Shonin's teaching
spreading among the people, the teaching clashed with former
religious concepts, traditions of family and feudalism among
Nichiren's followers, disciples as well as lay believers.
In the sixth month of the third year in the Kenji period (1277),
two incidents happened simultaneously concerning family-feudal
relationships and religions. One was religious strife between
Nichiren's disciple, Inaba-bo Nichiei, and Nichiei's father,
Mitsumoto, a believer of the nembutsu. The other incident
was also a conflict of faith between Shijo Yorimoto, a lay
follower of Nichiren Shonin, and Lord Ema, who was Yorimoto's
lord. In both cases Nichiren Shonin guided his followers in
trying to solve the problems. The two letters of Nichiren
Shonin included in this book demonstrate this: the "Shimoyama
Letter" was written in behalf of Nichiei, defending him;
and "Yoimoto's Letter of Explanation" in behalf
of Shijo Yorimoto was in Exoneration of Yorimoto.
