"There is a passage from The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings that Mr. Makiguchi highlighted in his copy of the Gosho, which was confiscated by the wartime authorities: 'The Buddha of the true aspect of reality resides in the midst of the mud and mire of earthly desires. This refers to us living beings" (OTT, 91).
"Going out and actively spreading the Daishonin's humanistic ideals in the muddy quagmire of society is a path of hope that leads to the fragrant flowering of the great life state of the 'Buddha of the true aspect of reality' in our own lives and those of others."
