Nichiren Daishonin states,
“The ‘great vow’ refers to the
   propagation of the Lotus Sutra.”(*)
When we live to fulfill our vow for kosen-rufu,
   we are able to manifest the life condition
   of Buddha from within, and we can break
   through the walls of obstacles and surmount
   our difficulties!
