At first only Nichiren chanted Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, but then two, three, and a hundred followed, chanting and teaching others. Propagation "Will Unfold in this Way" in the future as well. Does this not signify "emerging from the Earth?"." NICHIREN DAISHONIN (Gosho "The True Aspect of All Phenomena").
"Yes. The "Emerging from the Earth" chapter breaks through the the "frozen earth of resignation", the sense that "this is the way it has to be". It is a struggle to "reveal in front of the entire world" the underlying power of humanity and of the people. Where have these Bodhisattvas of the Earth come from? The Great Teacher Tien'tai says that they dwell in "the ultimate depths of life, that being the absolute reality". In other words, they "represent the truth in the depths of life", the fundamental Law of Nam Myoho Renge Kyo.
Nam Myoho Renge Kyo is the wellspring of the universe and the fundamental power of life. It is the "ultimate expression of wisdom and the foundation of all laws and principles". The Bodhisattvas of the Earth embody that fundamental energy". DAISAKU IKEDA.
"The qualifications of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth is revealed here. It is to strive without regressing through life, in the same mind as Nichiren Daishonin, and with a great vow.
It is because of the 3 Presidents of the Soka Gakkai, specially Ikeda Sensei, that people of these 'qualifications' have now emerged (In 192 countries and territories). The SGI has undisputably shown in reality, Bodhisattvas emerging from the Earth.
"Will unfold in this way"
IS
The SGI!" 🙏
