"Even a word or a phrase of the correct teaching will enable one to gain the way, if it suits the time and the capacity of the people. But though one studies a thousand sutras and ten thousand treatises, one will not attain Buddhahood if these teachings are unsuitable for the time and the people's capacity."

"The Daishonin says: 'The aspect or characteristics of the threefold world are birth, aging, sickness, and death' (OTT, 127). No one in this world can escape the sufferings of birth, ageing, sickness and death.
"'But if we look at birth and death in terms of their true nature,' the Daishonin continues, 'then there is no birth or death. And if there is no birth or death, then there is no ebb or flow. [Yet it is not that birth and death do not exist.]' (cf. OTT, 127). Viewed from the Buddhist perspective of the eternity of life throughout past, present and future, both birth and death are phenomena inherent in life. They are varying aspects of the Mystic Law, and everything does not end with death."
