Doing good in the Dharma Flower Sutra means doing the good of all, including oneself.

Just as “doing good” appears often in the Dharma Flower Sutra, so too does the expression “to see countless buddhas” and the like. By doing good, we are told, Fame Seeker was able to see countless buddhas. What could this possibly mean?

Perhaps it means seeing the buddhas who are in the buddha lands in every direction. Or perhaps it means seeing countless buddhas of the past. But I do not think so. Though the idea was not formalized until much later, I believe the Dharma Flower Sutra would have us understand that the Buddha is to be found, is to be seen, in every living being. Thus to see countless buddhas is to see the buddha in others, in everyone one meets, just like Never Disrespectful Bodhisattva.

Thus doing good and seeing countless buddhas are truly connected. One does good because one sees the buddha both in oneself and in others, and seeing the buddha in others gives one a motivation for doing good, helping them in whatever ways are appropriate.
