"Nichiren Daishonin cites [of T'ien T'ai] 'belief means to be without doubt' (OTT, 120). This kind of faith is unwavering, no matter what happens. It is absolute faith in the Gohonzon. When you have this kind of faith, the Daishonin teaches, the Buddhas and bodhisattvas throughout the universe are sure to protect you.
"On the other hand, there is 'knowledge without faith.' This means understanding the teachings, but not believing them in your heart. In this case, no matter how fully you master the Buddhist teachings, or how gifted you are, you cannot obtain Buddhahood in this lifetime."
