1) The journey from Kamakura to Kyoto takes twelve days, if you travel for eleven but stop with only one day remaining, how can you admire the moon over the capital?
比如由镰仓至京，计程十二日，若行十一日，至最后一日而止步不前，何得而咏都城之月乎？

2) Single-mindedly chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and urge others to do the same; that will remain as the only memory of your present life in this human world.
须是一心唱诵南无妙法莲华经，我既唱之，亦劝他人，唯此可作今生人之怀思。

3) When the skies are clear, the ground is illuminated. Similarly, when one knows the Lotus Sutra, one understands the meaning of all affairs.
天晴则地明，识法华经者可得世法欤。

4) “Knowledge without faith” describes those who are knowledgeable about Buddhist doctrines but have no faith. These people will never attain Buddhahood. Those of “faith without knowledge” may lack knowledge but have faith can attain Buddhahood.
有解无信，是解法门而无信心者，决不成佛。有信无解，是无解而信心者，可得成佛。

学习御书的重要：
-教导我们如何生存，如何奋战。
-我们必需“将御书铭于心胸”

教学并不是观念的教学，也不是记忆的教学，更不是要成为学者的教学。
是为了与所有现实人生奋战的动力，是为了在社会获得绝对胜利的教学，大哲学。
