Whether or not your prayer is answered depends upon your faith |
Can it be that Shakyamuni Buddha or the Bodhisattvas of the Earth have entered into your body? |
How admirable, that you have read the entirety of the Lotus Sutra with both body and mind! |
There is no greater happiness than having faith in the Lotus Sutra. |

And this is only the beginning: be convinced that your great reward is yet to come. |
how wretched and meaningless it would be to fall victim to an epidemic or simply die of old age! |

If master and disciple are not of the same mind, they cannot accomplish anything. |
Rather it has come about as a response to the true words contained in the Lotus Sutra. |
Be firmly convinced that the benefits from this offering will extend to your parents |
A passage from the Lotus Sutra reads, "...difficult to believe and difficult to understand." |
Tsukimaro must have chanted Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with her very first cry at birth. |
We common mortals can see neither our own eyebrows, which are so close, nor heaven in the distance. |
"With easy labor they shall bear a fortune child." |
Your own offerings were not made to me, Nichiren, but to the Lotus Sutra. |
