"Now, when Nichiren and his followers chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, they are revealing that the phantom city is none other than the treasure land. These mountain valleys and broad plains where we live are all, every one of them, treasure lands of Eternally Tranquil Light."

"'A bird's egg contains nothing but liquid, yet by itself this develops into a beak, two eyes and all the other parts, and the bird soars into the sky. We, too, are the eggs of ignorance, which are pitiful things, but when nurtured by the chanting of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, which is like the warmth of the mother bird, we developed the beak of the thirty-two features and the feathers of the eighty characteristics [of the Buddha] and are free to soar into the sky of the true aspect of all phenomena and the reality of all things.'

– From 'Letter to Nikke' (WND–1, 1030).
"Nichiren Daishonin revealed the means for all people to readily become Buddhas (cf. WND–1, 1030).
"'Nurtured by the chanting of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, which is like the warmth of the mother bird' we can transform even the harshest karma without fail and revitalise our lives, filling them with the radiant light of the dawning sun. We can spread our wings of hope and courage and soar freely into the skies of happiness and victory.
"Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is the "switch" that sets in motion our human revolution, enabling us to break through the delusion of fundamental ignorance and reveal our innate potential to the fullest."
Spreading the Brilliant Light of the Daishonin's Writings {New Series}, [4] Prayer is the "Switch" that Sets in Motion Our Human Revolution, January 25th, 2021's issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released April 2021.
