"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."

"'Casting off the transient and revealing the true' means 'revealing the true' for all people—that is, bringing forth the supremely noble life state inherent in our own lives and helping others do the same. We are Buddhas, and so is everyone else. 'Casting off the transient and revealing the true' serves as the ultimate basis for our actions to respect all people.

"'Casting off the transient and revealing the true' means 'revealing the true' for all people—that is, bringing forth the supremely noble life state inherent in our own lives and helping others do the same. We are Buddhas, and so is everyone else. 'Casting off the transient and revealing the true' serves as the ultimate basis for our actions to respect all people.
"Consequently, the Daishonin's 'casting off the transient and revealing the true' is not just a personal act, but a demonstration that all people can fully reveal in their lives the inexhaustible treasure storehouse within them. As the means to achieve that, he teaches the importance of striving in faith based on the spirit of 'true cause'—of always moving forwards from this moment on—a way of practice in which we bravely confront the harsh challenges of reality based on the shared vow of mentor and disciple to work for the enlightenment of all people."
