"Nichiren said that Shakyamuni Buddha summed up the entire Lotus Sutra in eight characters, which translates as "You should rise and greet them from afar, showing them the same respect you would a Buddha." This indicates that the spirit of the Lotus Sutra, and by extension Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, is to show deep respect to all living beings."
