[Universal-Sage Bodhisattva said to the Buddha:]
Anyone who keeps, reads and recites Myōhō Renge Kyō, memorizes Myōhō Renge Kyō correctly, understands the meanings of Myōhō Renge Kyō, and acts according to Myōhō Renge Kyō, know this, does the same practices that I do. He should be considered to have already planted deeply the roots of good under innumerable Buddhas [in his previous existence]. He will be caressed on the head by the hands of the Tathāgatas.
