We are ready for the challenge

Actual proof is the most important of the three proofs. There must be a way to establish actual proof or all philosophies and religions would be equally valid. There are several ways to establish actual proof. Historicity is one way but as a retrospective, it is not as powerful as a prospective such as a rain challenge, prophecies, or predictions that come true. Lastly, winning a formal debate is another way to establish actual proof. Another way to establish actual proof is leading an ethical life and performing good deeds. However, at best, this is a relative means to establish actual proof because even those in the World of Humanity can lead ethical lives and perform good deeds. Therefore, ethical behavior and good deeds can not separate one religion from the next [break from the pack] and certainly it is not sufficient to establish Buddhahood. Those religions that purport to the attainment of Buddhahood must absolutely establish themselves, according to Nichiren Daishonin. We are ready for the challenge.
