From Letter to Oto Gozen
Furthermore, it is written in the sutras: Men and women who truly believe in the Lotus Sutra shall be carried on the Buddha’s shoulders and back. Just as the wooden statue of Siddhartha carried Kumarayana.
Today is no different from the past. You are Nichiren’s disciples. You cannot fail to become Buddhas.
