"We are all Buddhas" - SGI teachings

Nichiren's teachings:

“In one world there are not two Buddhas".

"There are not two Venerable Ones.”

"In volume one of 'On the Words and Phrases', we read: 'There are not two Buddhas in the world, there are not two rulers in the nation. In the realm of one Buddha, there are not two Venerable Ones.' And The Treatise on the Upholding of the Stage states: 'In one world there are not two Buddhas, in one nation there are not two rulers. Within the realm of a single Buddha’s teachings, there are not two Venerable Ones.'"

Proof from the Lotus Sutra:

"The Sutra Canons which the Tathagata expounds are all for saving and liberating the mass of beings. I either preach my own body or preach the body of another or show my own body or show the body of another or show my own matter or show the matter of another."

As votaries of the Lotus Sutra, we are emanations of the Eternal Buddha Shakyamuni as explained by Nichiren:
