I, Nichiren, am the richest man in all of present-day Japan

I have dedicated my life to the Lotus Sutra, and my name will be handed down in ages to come. I have dedicated my life to the Lotus Sutra, and my name will be handed down in ages to come. If one is lord of the great ocean, then all the gods of the various rivers will obey one. If one is king of Mount Sumeru, then the gods of the various other mountains cannot help but serve one. If a person fulfills the teaching of “the six difficult and nine easy acts” of the Lotus Sutra, then, even though he may not have read the entire body of sutras, all should follow him. 31/12

From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
The Opening of the Eyes
