相構へ相構へて 心の師とはなるとも 心を師とすべからず と 仏は記し給ひしなり、法華経の御為に 身をも捨て 命をも惜まざれ と 強盛に申せしは 是なり
 
義浄房御書(892頁) 文永10年5月
通解(意訳)
 
よくよく心して、揺らぎやすい自身の心を、師匠の教え通りに自身の心とはしても、自分のわがままな心や臆病な心など、自分の心を師匠としてはならない、と釈尊は経文に記されている。「法華経のためには身をも捨て、命をも惜しまないように」と強盛に教えてきたのは、このことである。

" Letter to Gijō-bō "

 
The Buddha wrote that one should become the master of one’s mind rather than let one’s mind master oneself. This is what I mean when I emphatically urge you to give up even your body, and never begrudge even your life for the sake of the Lotus Sutra.

Interpretation (liberal translation)
 
That you aren't supposed to have the heart such as the selfish heart and a timid heart with a master even if it's made its heart as a master tells his heart which tends to be shaken, Buddha is recorded on a sutra.
It's this thing that I have taught "Apply yourself to belief as when it's for a Lotus Sutra, I also throw away my life, and also not to regret the life."

人のために火をともせば・我がまへあきらかなるがごとし - if one lights a fire for others, one will brighten one’s own way.

湿れる木より火を出し乾ける土より水を儲けんが如く強盛に申すなり - praying as earnestly as though to produce fire from damp wood, or to obtain water from parched ground.

蒼蝿驥尾に附して万里を渡り 碧蘿松頭に懸りて千尋を延ぶ - A blue fly, if it clings to the tail of a thoroughbred horse, can travel ten thousand miles, and the green ivy that twines around the tall pine can grow to a thousand feet.
