The Quotable Nichiren *BEHAVIOR* The Great Teacher Dengyo states that the otter shows its respect by offering up the fish in has caught, the crow in the forest carries food to its parents and grandparents, the dove takes care to perch three branches lower than its father, wild geese keep perfect formation when they fly together, and lambs kneel to drink their mothers milk. He asks: if lowly animals conduct themselves with such propriety, how can human beings be so lacking in courtesy? (WND, 1031) Take these teachings to heart, and always remember that believers in the Lotus Sutra should absolutely be the last to abuse one another. (WND, 756) Words for Daily Living
