Revelation of the Identity of Jogyo

Revelation of the Identity of Jogyo 

"My words (which have been predicted concerning conviction of Honge Jogyo
may sound very boastful, but they were intended for the sake of helping the
realization of Buddha's prophecy.... At any rate, who shall be qualified to
be Honge Jogyo other than Nichiren, myself? The moon rises in the west and
shines in the east, the sun rises in the east and shines in the west.
Buddhism, too, is just like this. It came from the west to the east during
the two thousand years of the Right and Fanciful Laws, but in the days of
the Latter Law, Buddhism is for the sake of salvation from East to West....
According to Buddha's prophecy and considering all circumstances, now,
Nichiren's age corresponds with the beginning of the Fifth Five Hundred
Period. The True Buddhism shall go to the world from the Far East, Japan"
(Nichiren's Works: Shinshio-Bunko & Ryogonkaku editions, Vol I., p. 476). 

"Already the great Bodhisattva out of the earth has appeared, so that the
great Law which the Buddha entrusted to him [summing up the salient points
of His Laws], shall be evidence" (Nichiren's Works: Shinshio-Bunko &
Ryogonkaku editions, Vol I., p. 325). 

"I, Nichiren, am the greatest practitioner of the Hokekyo in the world"
(Nichiren's Works: Shinshio-Bunko & Ryogonkaku editions, Vol I., p. 119). 

"I, Nichiren, am the greatest sage in the world" (Nichiren's Works:
Shinshio-Bunko & Ryogonkaku editions, Vol I., p. 513). 

"In the beginning of the Fifth Five Hundred Period the Bodhisattva Honge
Jogyo appeared and propagated this Law for the first time" (Nichiren's
Works: Shinshio-Bunko & Ryogonkaku editions, Vol I., p. 508).
