"In the name Fugen, or Universal Worthy, the element fu, 'universal,' refers to the true aspect of all phenomena, the principle of eternal and unchanging truth as embodied in the theoretical teaching. The element gen, or 'worthy' or 'wise,' expresses the idea of wisdom, the wisdom of the truth that functions in accordance with changing circumstances, as embodied in the essential teaching."
("Encouragements of the Bodhisattva Universal Worthy" chapter - The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 189)

"Though the Daishonin describes the Lotus Sutra as 'a secret means for leading all living beings to Buddhahood' (WND-1, 512), everything starts with one person, a single individual. Only if we can enable the person right in front of us to attain Buddhahood will it be possible to enable all people to do so. That is why the Daishonin asserts that it starts by helping one person attain enlightenment."
