"The 'Emerging from the Earth' chapter enumerates from various perspectives the special characteristics of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth—all of which the Daishonin himself perfectly embodied. They are also the qualities that we, too, acquire when we strive in Buddhist practice upholding faith in the Mystic Law. For instance, we find the following passages:
- 'Unfathomable in wisdom, firm in their intent and thought, with the power of great perseverance, the kind living beings delight to see' (LSOC15, 256).
- 'In order that day and night with constant diligence they may seek the Buddha way' (LSOC15, 260).
- 'Firm in the power of will and concentration, with constant diligence seeking wisdom, they expound various wonderful doctrines and their minds are without fear" (LSOC15, 260).
- 'Skillfully learning the bodhisattva way, unsoiled by worldly things like the lotus flower in the water' (LSOC15, 263).
- 'They are clever at difficult questions and answers, their minds know no fear. They have firmly cultivated persevering minds, upright in dignity and virtue. They are praised by the buddhas of the ten directions' (LSOC15, 263-64).
"As these words indicate, the Bodhisattvas of the Earth remain strong and undeterred in the face of every trial. They leap directly into the turbulent age of the Latter Day of the Law, making boundless contributions amid the challenges of this saha world."
