How fortunate I am! I am spreading the teaching of the Lotus Sūtra, confronting many persecutions and difficulties in this Latter Age of Degeneration just as it is foretold in the Lotus Sūtra, chapter 13 on “The Encouragement for Upholding This Sūtra”: “Those who spread this Lotus Sūtra after the death of the Buddha will be persecuted and chased out of monasteries often.” I should be proud of myself. I am writing this as a response to everyone, so I believe I do not need to explain this in detail.
