Myoho renge kyo always leads to the highest embodiment of human rights, destroying the will to kill, the mind to abuse others, and the will to harm the environment. Human rights education may or not lead to Myoho renge kyo. At best, human rights education is an inferior type of almsgiving, inferior to a deer giving milk to a starving tigress. Unless the fundamental nature of the tiger is controlled, it will kill the deer that gave it sustenance. In like manner, unless the fundamental nature of anger, avarice, and stupidity is controlled through the chanting of Namu Myoho renge kyo, there will be no improvement in human rights. Human rights education can not control the fundamental nature of the Three Poisons. This is the meaning of Nichiren's guidance, “no worldly affairs of life or work are ever contrary to the true reality."
