"How can we cross this vast turbulent sea and make our way to the opposite shore of enlightenment? Quoting The Words and Phrases of the Lotus Sutra by the Great Teacher Miao-lo, the Daishonin explains that we can unfailingly reach that far shore by hearing and cherishing in our hearts 'even a single sentence or phrase of the Lotus Sutra' (WND-1, 33). Here, 'a single sentence or phrase' refers to Myoho-renge-kyo [or Nam-myoho-renge-kyo], the one fundamental Law by which all Buddhas attain enlightenment."
