Nichiren Daishonin states in “Rissho Ankoku-Ron”:

You must immediately renounce your erroneous belief and take faith in the supreme teaching of the one vehicle of the Lotus Sutra. Then, this entire threefold world will become the Buddha land. How could the Buddha land ever decline? All the lands in the ten directions will transform into treasure realms. How could a treasure realm ever fall into ruin? If the nation never declines and the land is indestructible, you will find security and peace of mind.

宗祖日莲大圣人于《立正安国论》曰:

汝当早改信仰之寸心,速归实乘之一善。然则三界皆佛国也。佛国其岂衰哉。十方悉宝土也,宝土其何坏哉。国无衰微,土无破坏,身是安全,心是禅定。

Nichiren Daishonin states in “Reply to Shijo Kingo”:

Accepting is easy, but continuing is difficult. But one must maintain one’s faith in order to attain Buddhahood.

宗祖日莲大圣人于《四条金吾殿御返事》曰:

受易持难,故成佛在于持也。

Nichiren Daishonin states in “The True Entity of All Phenomena”:

Strive forth in the two ways of practice and study. If practice and study are neglected, then Buddhism will cease to exist. You should practise for yourself and lead others to this teaching. Both practice and study originate from faith. You must propagate to others with all your might, even if it is only a single sentence or phrase.

宗祖日莲大圣人于《诸法实相抄》曰:

务必励行行学二道。行学若绝,不得有佛法矣。我亦致力,亦当教化他人。行学乃由信心起。若有力,即使一文一句,亦当为人言语矣。

Nichiren Daishonin states in “How Those Initially Aspiring to the Way Can Attain Buddhahood through the Lotus Sutra”:

One should by all means persist in preaching the Lotus Sutra, thus causing others to hear it. Those who put their faith in it will surely attain Buddhahood, while those who slander it will establish a “poison-drum relationship” with it and will likewise attain Buddhahood.

宗祖日莲大圣人于《法华初心成佛抄》曰:

总之,须强说法华经使其听闻。信者可成佛,谤者成毒鼓之缘,亦可成佛也。

Nichiren Daishonin states in “The True Object of Worship (Kanjin no honzon-shō)”:

For those who are ignorant of ichinen sanzen, the Buddha manifests his great compassion, and infuses the jewel into the five characters of Myo-Ho-Ren-Ge-Kyo, and adorns the necks of the common mortals in the Latter Day of the Law.

宗祖日莲大圣人于《观心本尊抄》曰:

为不识一念三千者,佛起大慈悲,将此珠裹于五字之內, 悬于末代幼稚之颈矣

Nichiren Daishonin states in “Questions and Answers between a Sage and a Foolish Man”:

We have obtained birth in the human world, something difficult to achieve, and have encountered the sacred teachings of the Buddha, which are rarely to be met.
We are like the one-eyed turtle finding a floating log with a hole in it that fits him exactly.

宗祖日莲大圣人于《圣愚问答抄》曰:

受生难受之人界, 值遇难值之如来圣教,如一眼之龟,得遇浮木之穴

Nichiren Daishonin states in “Many in Body, One in Mind”:

I believe that despite their small numbers, if Nichiren and his followers have the spirit of many in body, one in mind, they certainly will accomplish their great purpose and the Lotus Sutra will spread. No matter how numerous evils may be, they will never defeat the single truth. This can be compared to a stream of water extinguishing many raging fires. This is true of Nichiren and his followers.

宗祖日莲大圣人于《异体同心事》曰:

日莲一门,若异体同心,人虽寡亦得成大事,法华经料必可弘通也。
恶虽多不胜一善。譬如虽集众火一水可灭。此一门亦复如是。

Nichiren Daishonin states in “Reply to Priest Takahashi”:

The Hinayana sutras, the Mahayana sutras as well as the Lotus Sutra—all these teachings can no longer work as medicine to treat the people’s illnesses. Only the words of these sutras are still in existence. Their illnesses will be too serious while these medicines are too ineffective. At that time, Bodhisattva Jōgyō will make his advent in order to bestow upon all people in the entire world the five characters of Myo-Ho-Ren-Ge-Kyo.

宗祖日莲大圣人于《高桥入道殿御返事》曰:

小乘经、大乘经及法华经,虽有文字,然不可为众生之病之药。所谓病重药轻也。
其時,上行菩萨出現,以妙法莲华经之五字,授予一阎浮提之一切众生。
