Myōhō Renge Kyō Promise for May 10, 2025

Written by

Promises

The rich man knew
That his son was base and mean.
Therefore, he made him nobler
With expedients,
And then gave him
All his treasures.

In the same manner,
You knew that we wished
To hear the Lesser Vehicle.
Therefore, you did a rare thing.
You prepared us with expedients,
And then taught us Myōhō Renge Kyō.

Lotus Sutra, Chapter 4
