“Mañjuśrī! Myōhō Renge Kyō is the treasury of the hidden core of the Buddhas, of the Tathāgatas. Myōhō Renge Kyō is superior to all the other sūtras. I kept Myōhō Renge Kyō [in secret] and refrained from expounding Myōhō Renge Kyō for the long night. Now I expound Myōhō Renge Kyō to you today for the first time.”
