Anyone who not only understands
Myōhō Renge Kyō by faith
But also keeps, reads and recites Myōhō Renge Kyō,
And copies Myōhō Renge Kyō, or causes others to copy Myōhō Renge Kyō,
And strews flowers, incense,
And incense powder to a copy of Myōhō Renge Kyō,
And lights lamps of the perfumed oil
Of sumanas, campaka, and atimuktaka
Around the copy of Myōhō Renge Kyō
And offers the light thus produced to Myōhō Renge Kyō,
Will be able to obtain innumerable merits.
His merits will be as limitless as the sky.Needless to say, so will be the merits of the person
Who keeps Myōhō Renge Kyō, gives alms, observes the precepts,
Practices patience, prefers dhyāna-concentrations,
And does not get angry or speak ill of others.
