"The Daishonin says that he is carrying out the actual practice of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth and enduring persecution as a result. At the same time, his contemporary and future disciples—who are connected to him through 'the assembly on Holy Eagle Peak which continues in solemn state and has not yet disbanded'* (OTT, 135)—are also Bodhisattvas of the Earth who have appeared in response to their great vow to widely spread the Law, their great vow for kosen-rufu.
