"Regarding the word myo of Myoho-renge-kyo, Bodhisattva Nagarjuna comments in The Treatise on the Great Perfection of Wisdom that it “can change poison into medicine.” And the Great Teacher T’ien-t’ai says, “But when the Lotus Sutra predicts that these people [of the two vehicles] will eventually attain Buddhahood, the poison is changed into medicine.” Though calamities may come, they can be changed into good fortune."



From Gosho "How the Gods Protect the Place of Practice" (The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin Volume II, page 669)
