[The Bodhisattvas] who hear, understand, think over and practice Myōhō Renge Kyō, will approach Anuttara-samyak-saṃbodhi. Why is that? It is because Anuttara-samyak-saṃbodhi which all the Bodhisattvas [should attain] is expounded only in Myōhō Renge Kyō.

Myōhō Renge Kyō Promise for April 18, 2025
Having expounded Myōhō Renge Kyō, the Buddha entered a quiet room,
And practiced dhyāna-concentration.
Concentrating his mind, he sat at the same place
For eighty-four thousand kalpas.Seeing him still in dhyāna,
The śramaṇeras wished to expound
The unsurpassed wisdom of the Buddha
To many hundreds of millions of living beings.They each sat on a seat of the Dharma
And expounded Myōhō Renge Kyō.
Also after the peaceful extinction of that Buddha,
They proclaimed Myōhō Renge Kyō, and helped propagate it.They each saved
Six hundred billions of living beings,
That is, as many living beings
As there are sands in the River Ganges.
Myōhō Renge Kyō Promise for April 17, 2025
Listen! I will tell you of the merits
Of those who fearlessly expound
To the great multitude
Myōhō Renge Kyō.They will be able to obtain the excellent eyes
Adorned with eight hundred merits.
Their eyes will be pure
Because of this adornment.
Myōhō Renge Kyō Promise for April 16, 2025
If an expounder of the Dharma
Reads and recites Myōhō Renge Kyō
In a retired and quiet place,
Where no human voice is heard,
I will show my pure and radiant body to him.
If he forgets a sentence or a phrase of Myōhō Renge Kyō,
I will tell it to him
For his complete understanding.

Who will protect
And keep Myōhō Renge Kyō,
And read and recite Myōhō Renge Kyō
After my extinction?

According to his great vow.Many-Treasures Tathāgata and I
And the Buddhas of my replicas,

Wish to know who will do [all this].

Will be able to locate by smell, without moving about,
The flowers and fruits of trees,
And the oil taken from sumanas-flowers.He will be able to recognize by smell
The flowers of the candana-trees
Blooming in steep mountains,
And the living beings in those mountains.

Thereupon the Bodhisattva-mahāsattvas as many as the particles of dust of one thousand worlds, who had sprung up from underground, joined their hands together towards the Buddha with all their hearts, looked up at his honorable face, and said to him:
“World-Honored One! After your extinction, we will expound Myōhō Renge Kyō in the worlds of the Buddhas of your replicas and also in the place from which you will pass away. Why is that? It is because we also wish to obtain this true, pure and great Dharma, to keep, read, recite, expound and copy Myōhō Renge Kyō, and to make offerings to Myōhō Renge Kyō.”
Myōhō Renge Kyō Promise for April 11, 2025
Never-Despising [Bodhisattva] met
Innumerable Buddhas after the end of his life.
He expounded Myōhō Renge Kyō,
And obtained innumerable merits,
He quickly attained the enlightenment of the Buddha
By these accumulated merits.
Myōhō Renge Kyō Promise for April 10, 2025
Anyone who keeps, reads and recites Myōhō Renge Kyō [after your extinction], will be able to see me with such joy that he will make more efforts. Because he sees me, he will be able to obtain samadhis and a set of dhārāṇis. The set of dhārāṇis will be the dhārāṇis by which he can memorize repetitions of teachings, the dhārāṇis by which he can memorize hundreds of thousands of billions of repetitions of teachings, and the dhārāṇis by which he can understand the expediency of the voice of the Dharma.
