The believers of the Lotus Sūtra today are like the cold winter. Winter inevitably becomes spring. Has anyone experienced winter turning back to autumn? Likewise, there has never been a case of a believer of the Lotus Sūtra being an ordinary person without attaining Buddhahood. Therefore, it is preached in the Lotus Sūtra, “Expedients” chapter, “Having heard of the Lotus Sūtra, no one remains without attaining Buddhahood.”
