Nichiren, Risshō Kōsei-kai, Sōka Gakkai, Reiyūkai, and others inspired by the Lotus Sutra have been important examples of how Lotus Sutra Buddhists are to be actively engaged in transforming society. Lotus Sutra Buddhists are not passive hearers of a finalized message, but their capacities and needs and goals help to shape the flowering of the Dharma here and now. Thus, they are both receivers and cocreators of the message and participate in the process of manifesting the Dharma. Accordingly, part of the task of our lives is to help creatively to realize the Dharma in each situation, and to bring it into being in our lives and in the lives of those who are in need and for a world in need.
