The great American poet Walt Whitman writes in Leaves of Grass: "All comes by the body, only health puts you in rapport with the universe."

From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin

The teachings such as those of the non-Buddhist writings and those of the Hinayana and provisional Mahayana Buddhist scriptures all partially explain the phenomena inherent in one's life. They do not explain them as the Lotus Sutra does. Thus, among the sutras, there are both superior and inferior, and among people also, sages and worthies may be distinguished.
