"Kyo's misfortune will chage into fortune. Muster your faith, and pray to this Gohonzon. Then what is there that cannot be achieved? There can be no doubt about the sura passages that say, "This sutra can fulfill their desires, as a clear cool pond can satisfy all those who are thristy," and "They will enjoy peace and security in their present existences and good circumstances in future existences." (WND, 412)
The Daishonin explains the significance of cause and effect: All sutras other than the Lotus Sutra expound that Buddhahood (effect), can be attained only after having made good causes, that is, practicing their teachings (causes), over a length of time. With the Lotus Sutra, however, the very act of embracing it (cause) enables one simultaneously to become a Buddha (effect). (For Today & Tomorrow, Daisaku Ikeda)
