通解(意訳)
 法華経の肝心であり・諸仏の眼目である妙法蓮華経の五字が、末法の始めに全世界に弘まっていくきっかけとして、日蓮がその先駆を切った。わが門下一党の者も、二陣・三陣と日蓮に続いて正法を弘通して、法華経を伝えてきた先人達である、迦葉・阿難にも勝り、天台・伝教をも超えていきなさい。


English Gosho
 Now, at the beginning of the Latter Day of the Law, I, Nichiren, am the first to embark on propagating, throughout Jambudvīpa, the five characters of Myoho-renge-kyo, which are the heart of the Lotus Sutra and the eye of all Buddhas.

 During the 2,220 or more years since the Buddha’s passing, not even  Mahākāshyapa, Ānanda, Ashvaghosha, Nāgārjuna, Nan-yüeh, T’ien-t’ai, Miao-lo, or Dengyō has propagated them. My disciples, form your ranks and follow me, and surpass even Mahākāshyapa or Ānanda, T’ien-t’ai or Dengyō!

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.
