"Opening of the Eyes"
("Kaimoku-sho")
A man by the name of Nichiren was beheaded [as a common mortal] between the hours of the Rat and the Ox on the twelfth day of the ninth month of the previous year. His soul reached Sado Island, where this letter was authored, while surrounded by deep snow, in February of the following year. If this is sent to my close disciples, they might feel terrified, though to me this is nothing to fear. Anyone [whose faith is not stable] will be extremely horrified after reading this text. This writing is a clear mirror reflecting the future of Japan, namely, the present world, which was projected by Shakyamuni Buddha, Taho Buddha, and various Buddhas in the ten directions. Thus, this letter should be taken as my will. (Gosho, p. 563)
