"As for the meaning of Myoho-renge-kyo: The Buddha nature inherent in us, ordinary people; the Buddha nature of Brahma-, Shakra, and the other deities; the Buddha nature of Sha-riputra, Maudgalya-yana, and the other voice-hearers; the Buddha nature of Manjushri-, Maitreya, and the other bodhisattvas; and the Mystic Law that is the enlightenment of the Buddhas of the three existences, are one and identical. This principle is called Myoho-renge-kyo."
