it is good to have constant reassurance that 1) Myoho-renge-kyo is perfect and 2) "Letter to The Brothers" is applicable to us today--
I can't help thinking of how devastating and agonizing those 20 years of *family discord* were --or rather the very long time between the father disowning one son and the brothers' converting their father though their diligence in following Nichiren's advice...
And perhaps even more significant is learning through experience how the brothers were able to sustain their faith--
the brilliance of Myoho-renge-kyo is even brighter "when logs are added to the fire"
no arguments here--
