いよいよ強盛の御志あるべし、冰は水より出でたれども水よりもすさまじ、青き事は藍より出でたれども・かさぬれば藍よりも色まさる、同じ法華経にては・をはすれども志かさぬれば・他人よりも色まさり利生もあるべきなり。
（御書全集1221㌻）
The Supremacy of the Law
Strengthen your resolve more than ever. Ice is made of water, but it is colder than water. Blue dye comes from indigo, but when something is repeatedly dyed in it, the color is better than that of the indigo plant. The Lotus Sutra remains the same, but if you repeatedly strengthen your resolve, your color will be better than that of others, and you will receive more blessing than they do.
同じ法華経ではあっても、信心を深め、実践を重ねていくならば、他の人よりも輝きが増し、利益もはっきりとあらわれてくる
