Description:
According to legend, Nichiren was attacked by the warrior Yamabushi some time during the eighth month of 1273. The warrior hurled a great rock in the air to crush the itinerant monk. Nichiren magically caused the rock to remain suspended in mid-air, much to the shock of the warrior. (from Pathway exhibition 1/29/08-)
