Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'The heart of the Buddha's lifetime of teachings is the Lotus Sutra, and the heart of the practice of the Lotus Sutra is found in the "Never Disparaging" chapter. What does Bodhisattva Never Disparaging's profound respect for people signify? The purpose of the appearance in this world of Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, lies in his behaviour as a human being' (WND-1, 851-52; "The Three Kinds of Treasure").

"What this underscores for me is that we are not only carrying on the mission of kosen-rufu as Bodhisattvas of the Earth,* but are also joyfully spreading Bodhisattva Never Disparaging's practice of respecting all people in this troubled saha world' in the evil age after the Buddha's passing. This sort of 'behavior as a human being' is embodied in the action of encouraging the person right in front of us, and is at the core of our dialogue movement based on respect for the dignity of life and for all people."

* Bodhisattvas of the Earth: The innumerable bodhisattvas who appear in the "Emerging from the Earth" (15th) chapter of the Lotus Sutra and are entrusted by Shakyamuni with the task of propagating the Law after his passing. In the "Supernatural Powers" (21st) chapter, Shakyamuni entrusts Bodhisattva Superior Practices, the leader of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth, with spreading the Law in the saha world in the evil age of the Latter Day of the Law.
