At times, Nichiren referred to the ultimate reality in terms of the Law and at other times in terms of the Buddha. Some of us relate equally to the Law and the Buddha, others more to the Law than the Buddha, and still others more to the Buddha than the Law. Similarly, some people relate to Albert Einstein but his Law of Relativity is beyond their grasp while others fully grasp his law but misunderstand Einstein the person. Nichiren Lotus Sutra Buddhism is for all people.
This is one reason 95% of all those who joined the Soka Gakkai abandoned it. There was only room for those who could relate to the Law but no room for those who could relate to the Buddha.
