A Nichiren Shoshu footnote [and previously SGI footnote] asserts, "The white ox signifies the Dai Gohonzon". These groups assert many things of which there is no documentary, theoretical, nor actual proof. According to the Lotus Sutra and Nichiren Daishonin, the white ox is the One Supreme Vehicle of Buddhahood expounded in the Parable of the Burning House, Lotus Sutra Chapter 3. Also, according to the Lotus Sutra and Nichiren, the Original Eternal Buddha is Shakyamuni.
