There is no reason to lament and ask yourself why, after so many years of sincere and diligent practice of the Daishonin’s Buddhism, you should have to fall ill, or a family member should require nursing care, or some other such situation. Your practice has enabled you to lessen your karmic retribution and makes it possible for you to change poison into medicine. When families practicing the Daishonin’s Buddhism pull together to overcome such obstacles based on faith, they will be able to open the way to the attainment of Buddhahood on a truly profound and meaningful level.
