"Where strong winds cause the grasses to bend and flashes of lightning fill people with alarm—in a world such as ours, how wonderful it is that to this day you remain unshaken in your faith! They say that when roots are deep, the leaves will not wither; when there is a jewel in the heart of the fountain, its waters will never cease to flow. And how deep are the roots of your faith, how pure the jewel in your heart. How admirable, how admirable!"

"When we revere Myoho-renge-kyo [the Mystic Law] inherent in our own life as the object of devotion, the Buddha nature within us is summoned forth and manifested by our chanting of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. This is what is meant by "Buddha."'

"When we revere Myoho-renge-kyo [the Mystic Law] inherent in our own life as the object of devotion, the Buddha nature within us is summoned forth and manifested by our chanting of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. This is what is meant by "Buddha."'
-From 'How Those Initially Aspiring to the Way Can Attain Buddhahood through the Lotus Sutra' (WND-1, 887).
"Nichiren Buddhism is a teaching that makes us stronger, wiser and better. The practice of chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo enables us to reveal our highest, most noble potential. By chanting daimoku, we can bring forth within us the same boundless life state of Buddhahood as Nichiren Daishonin.
"Through strong prayer, let's make our lives brim with the limitless power of the Mystic Law pervading the entire universe. Activating the Buddha nature of Brahma and Shakra—The two main tutelary gods of Buddhism – and that of all Buddhas and bodhisattvas, let's spread waves of revitalisation in our families, communities and societies."
