Letter to the Brothers excerpt 1
The Lotus Sutra is the heart of the eighty thousand teachings and the core of the twelve divisions of the scriptures. The Buddhas throughout the three existences attain enlightenment because they take this sutra as their teacher. The Buddhas of the ten directions guide living beings with the teaching of the one vehicle as their eyes.
Commentary:
Nichiren emphasizes the superiority of the Lotus Sutra over all others. He says that all Buddhas attained enlightenment by taking the Lotus Sutra as their teacher and they also expounded the Lotus Sutra to others.
