The goals of the Buddha and of Nichiren Shu Buddhism are the same: bringing the freedom of awakening to all, no matter how deluded or bound by circumstances. In this book we have seen that the Lotus Sutra is the original teaching that guaranteed Buddhahood to all, including those seen as evil, such as Devadatta; those considered unable by nature to attain ultimate awakening, such as the monastic voice-hearers and the privately awakened ones; and those born with social impediments such as the dragon girl. Nichiren made the capacity for awakening truly universal through the teaching of the Three Great Secret Dharmas.
