In the Lotus Sutra the Buddha reveals the true aspect of his life.  It is a masterful work of literature, philosophy and spirituality. The Buddha begins by explaining this principle in its theoretical form as the underlying basis of all phenomena.  He explains it in the form of ten aspects. The first aspect is appearance or the outer form of things as they are percieved by living beings. The second is the inner nature which is only known because of the way peoples expressions and appearances change as their inner life conditions change. The third is the entity or essence of things. This aspect indicates that there is a oneness between the first two aspects and this oneness between inner and outer aspects reveals the true nature of relaity. This third aspect is also known as the middleway of wisdom. It is the way in which the Buddha percieves all things; from the standpoint of the true entity of all phenomena.  The final seven aspects explain how the law of phenomena function from moment to moment to produce the changing nature of events.

This revelation on the part of the Buddha is set forth in order to set the stage and provide an underlying knowledge of how the Buddha goes about projecting his own life into the world from the standpoint of his Buddhahood ergo from the standpoint of how he projects his personality into the lives of all living beings influencing them and lead all beings to the Buddhawisdom.  The Buddha possesses a great wisdom indead.

The Buddha explains that it is because of the nature and function of the universal Dharma Law that he is able to lead all peop[le to Buddhahood. Nichiren was the first person to realize in totality the true meaning and power of the Lotus Sutra.
