From "On Prayer", in The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 345.
It makes no difference if the practitioner himself is lacking in worth, defective in wisdom, impur in his person, and lacking in virture derived from observing the precepts. So long as he chants Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, [the buddhist gods] will invariably protect him. One does not throw away gold because the bag that holds it is dirty.
This is so totally me. It's nice to know we don't have to be perfect to be perfectly happy.
