"This chapter tells the story of the priceless jewel that was sewn into the lining of a man's robe. In a word, it means that Nichiren and his followers, who chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, have accepted and taken faith in the wisdom jewel of the Wonderful Law of the one vehicle. The mind of faith is comparable to the jewel that is sewn into the robe."

Five Hundred Disciples chapter,

"The Ceremony in the Air, and indeed the entire Lotus Sutra, is a drama that plays out in Shakyamuni's own mind, and at the same time, it is a drama that describes our own beings. Drawing forth the life state of Buddhahood by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, we can break through our individual karma and achieve the fundamental transformation of our lives known as attaining Buddhahood. Not only that, we can enact the ultimate drama of transformation based on the principle of the 'three thousand realms in a single moment of life,'* by which we can realise happiness for both ourselves and others and contribute to creating a prosperous society and a peaceful world."

*Three thousand realms in a single moment of life (Jpn. ichinen-sanzen): A philosophical system established by T'ien-t'ai of China based on the Lotus Sutra. The "three thousand realms" indicates the varying aspects and phases that life assumes at each moment. At each moment, life manifests one of the Ten Worlds. Each of these worlds possesses the potential for all ten within itself, thus making one hundred possible worlds. Each of these hundred worlds possesses the ten factors and operates within each of the three realms of existence, thus making three thousand realms. In other words, all phenomena are contained within a single moment of life, and a single moment of life permeates the three thousand realms of existence or the entire phenomenal world.
