*"When a tree has been transplanted, though fierce winds may blow, it will not topple if it has a firm stake to hold it up. But even a tree that has grown up in place may fall over if its roots are weak. Even a feeble person will not stumble if those supporting him are strong, but a person of considerable strength, when alone, may fall down on an uneven path."

"A Buddha is not a supernatural or distant being.
"The Lotus Sutra reveals the truth that all living beings inherently possess the life state of Buddhahood, hence it is the 'wisdom of all Buddhas' (WND–1, 3). Nichiren Daishonin called this truth the Mystic Law and taught that by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, all people, just as they are, can attain Buddhahood in this lifetime without fail."
