"Nichiren Daishonin asserts that the Buddha nature that all living beings possess—all the Buddhas and bodhisattvas of the universe, as well as the gods of the sun, moon and morning star, and even the dwellers of the lowest depths of hell —'is called by the name Myoho-renge-kyo' (cf.WND–1, 131). Therefore, if you chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo even once, he says, 'the Buddha nature of all living beings will be summoned and gather around you,'  and your own Buddha nature will also 'be drawn forth and become manifest' (cf.WND-1, 131).

"Nothing is as vast and powerful as the lives of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth who chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and teach others to do the same. Our movement for kosen-rufu is a grand endeavour—encompassing heaven, earth and all living things—to unlock and unite the Buddha nature, the innate positive power, of people who have been racked by despair and misery, divided by mistrust and conflict."

Stirring a Whirlwind of Dialogue to Awaken People's Buddha Nature, October 2021 Editorial of Daibyakurenge, the Soka Gakkai Monthly study journal. Translation released Sep. 15th, 2021.
