The meaning of a passage from Chapter Ten of the Lotus Sutra, The Teacher of the Law

"Those who hear of this Lotus Sutra even for a moment, will instantly attain Perfect Enlightenment." A passage in the sixteenth chapter of the Lotus Sutra, "Duration of the Life of the Buddha."

At some point in time, everyone who has heard Myoho renge kyo, even once, will instantly attain Perfect Enlightenment. Those who have the same faith and practice as Shakyamuni Buddha and Nichiren will instantly attain Perfect Enlightenment in this lifetime or within several lifetimes. Those who fail to believe will also instantly attain Perfect Enlightenment but at some time in the far distant future.
