The Buddhas of the three existences appear in the world with one ultimate thought — the Fourfold Purpose of the Buddha’s wisdom.
written by Nichiren Daishonin in 13th century Japan
As the “Expedient Means” (second) Chapter of the Lotus Sutra clearly explains, there is only one ultimate reason for the appearance of all Buddhas: to open the wisdom of the Buddha to all people, to show the wisdom of the Buddha to all people, to have all people awaken to the wisdom of the Buddha, and to have all people enter the path of the wisdom of the Buddha. (These four goals are called the “Fourfold Purpose of the Buddha’s wisdom — to open, show, awaken, and enter”).
