「蓮如上人仰条々」長享二年　（一四八八） (The quotations of the illustrious Rennyo) (Chōkyō 2 1488)

一、將軍家常徳院殿義尚、ヨリノ儀ニテ、加州一國ノ一揆等門徒弟ノ衆ヲ御門徒ヲ放サルヘ

キ由度々仰事アリキ、文明四之比賀州居住兄弟中モ召上ラレキ、蓮―上人仰られる事ニハ、賀

州内々御門弟ヲ放さるるべき之由仰出サレ候事、御身ヲキラル、ヨリモカナシク思食さる

る之由仰　アリキ、何事モ知ラサル尼入道ノ類ノ事迄モ思食サレ候へハ、何トモ御迷惑、

此事二極まる由仰ラレ侍リキ、御門徒ヲハナサルルト申事ハ、善知識ノ御上ニテハ一段御

迷惑二、カナシク思食さるる事ニテ候由仰タル事二候、(p.12)

This is an often quoted passage written by Jitsugo some sixty years after the events it describes. It begins by stating that the shōgun at the time had made repeated requests that the members of the Monto who were responsible for the Kaga kuni ikki should be banished from the Monto as a whole. He also stated that those sons of Rennyo currently in residence in Kaga should return to the Kinai. As a response, Rennyo said that in relation to the abandonment of members of the Kaga Monto, this would be like cutting his own flesh, and mentioned many times the example of Amanyūdō. Abandoning the Monto would be `a great nuisance`, a point that Rennyo strived to convey. Hence to abandon the Monto would create difficulties that would defy wisdom. This Rennyo was reported to have said with much regret.
