For the New Year I’ve decided to repost the quotes I’ve gathered from the seven-volume Writings of Nichiren Shōnin. I collected those quotes originally during my 100 Days of Study project that started in March 2018.  Since then Nichiren Shu has published a  second edition of the writings.

My ostensible reason for reposting the quotes is to update them to reflect the page numbers from the second edition. To tell if a quote you find on this website is from the first or second edition, look at the bottom of the article for the “2ndEd” tag.

However, the real reason is I’m reposting these quotes is because I want to have something to read each day and this is a simple, if time consuming, project.

In a perfect world, I’d sit down and read the seven volumes again and gather a new collection of quotes. With more than a decade of study behind me I’m sure I’d find new material overlooked the first time. But with two grandkids to babysit and the requirements of my “Honey, do…” chores, I just don’t think I’ll have the time.

Between the 100 Days of Study, the Phrase a Day booklet and Rev. Shinkyo Warner’s Daily Dharma, this website contains more than 1,700 quotes from Nichiren’s writings. I’m unsure how many of those quotes I gathered from the Writings of Nichiren Shōnin.  I expect that I will be posting daily quotes well into 2027 and maybe beyond.
