"All disciples and lay supporters of Nichiren should chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with the spirit of many in body but one in mind, transcending all differences among themselves to become as inseparable as fish and the water in which they swim. This spiritual bond is the basis for the universal transmission of the ultimate Law of life and death."

"There is no Buddha other than living beings who confront and battle suffering. A Buddha is an ordinary person who willingly leaps in among suffering people to help them. Mr. Toda declared that we 'reveal our true selves as inherently enlightened ordinary people.' To fulfil our eternal mission, each of us appears in this world 'voluntarily assuming the appropriate karma."* We are ordinary people demonstrating the inherent power of the Mystic Law. This profound view of the human condition and life is the inexhaustible origin of our humanistic, people-centred religion."

Buddhism of the Sun, October 2023 issue of Daibyakurenge, 12th of a multipart lecture on key passages from The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, "Life Span of the Thus Comes One" chapter of the Lotus Sutra,The Buddha Goes Out among the Suffering People, SGI Newsletter No. 11566, released June 13th 2024
* Voluntarily assuming the appropriate karma: This refers to bodhisattvas who, though qualified to receive the pure rewards of Buddhist practice, relinquish them and make a vow to be reborn in an impure world to save living beings. They spread the Mystic Law, while undergoing the same sufferings as those born in the evil world due to karma. This term derives from Miao-lo's interpretation of relevant passages in "The Teacher of the Law" (10th) chapter of the Lotus Sutra: "Medicine King, you should understand that these people voluntarily relinquish the reward due them for their pure deeds and, in the time after I have passed into extinction, because they pity living beings, they are born in this evil world so they may broadly expound this sutra" (LSOC10, 200).
