During many hundreds of millions of kalpas,
And expound Myōhō Renge Kyō to the living beings.

Thereupon the Buddha said to Constant-Endeavor Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva:
“The good men or women who keep, read, recite, expound or copy Myōhō Renge Kyō, will be able to obtain eight hundred merits of the eye, twelve hundred merits of the ear, eight hundred merits of the nose, twelve hundred merits of the tongue, eight hundred merits of the body, and twelve hundred merits of the mind. They will be able to adorn and purify their six sense-organs with these merits.

Myōhō Renge Kyō Promise for March 12, 2025

The Bodhisattva should live in a retired place,
And concentrate his mind.
He should be as peaceful
And as immovable as Mt. Sumeru.
Things have no property
Just as the sky has not.
They are not solid.
They are not born.
They do not appear or move or go.
They are permanently of one form.’
This truth is the proper thing
The Bodhisattva should approach.

A Bhikṣu who lives after my extinction
Will be free from timidity
If he performs these proper practices,
And approaches these proper things
As previously stated,
And then expounds Myōhō Renge Kyō.

Needless to say, so are the merits of the first person who rejoices at hearing Myōhō Renge Kyō in the congregation. His merits are immeasurable, limitless, asaṃkhya and incomparable.

“Medicine-King, know this! Anyone who copies, keeps, reads and recites Myōhō Renge Kyō, makes offerings to Myōhō Renge Kyō, and expounds Myōhō Renge Kyō to others after my extinction, will be covered by my robe.

I will pat him on the head.”

Myōhō Renge Kyō Promise for March 7, 2025

Some sons of mine are pure in heart, gentle and wise.
They have practiced the profound and wonderful teachings
Under innumerable Buddhas
[In their previous existence].
I will expound Myōhō Renge Kyō to them,
And assure them of their future Buddhahood, saying:
“You will attain the enlightenment of the Buddha
In your future lives.”

Deep in their minds they are thinking of me,
And observing the pure precepts.
Therefore, they will be filled with joy
When they hear they will become Buddhas.
I know their minds.
Therefore, I will expound Myōhō Renge Kyō to them.

Brave-In-Giving Bodhisattva said to the Buddha:

“World-Honored One! I also will utter dhārānis in order to protect the person who reads, recites and keeps Myōhō Renge Kyō. If he keeps these dhārānis, this teacher of the Dharma will not have his weak points taken advantage of by any yakṣa, rākṣasa, pūtana, kṛtya, kumbhāṇḍa or hungry spirit.”
