"Good, good! Ajita! You have well asked the Buddha concerning so great a matter. Do you all, with one mind, don the armor of zeal and exhibit a firm will, [for] the Tathagata now intends to reveal and proclaim the wisdom of buddhas, the sovereign and supernatural power of buddhas, the lion-eagerness of buddhas, and the awe-inspiring forceful power of buddhas."
-- Chapter XV - Springing from Out of the Earth p.243 (Kosei, Threefold Lotus Sutra)

"It is said that the merit of all the Buddhist scriptures (except the Lotus Sutra) is that men can become Buddhas after they have done good deeds, which means that attainment of Buddhahood remains uncertain. In the case of the Lotus Sutra, when one touches it, one's hands immediately become Buddhas, and when one chants it, one's mouth instantaneously becomes a Buddha."
