Myōhō Renge Kyō Promise for April 27, 2025

Anyone who keeps Myōhō Renge Kyō
Will be able to locate by smell
The living beings in the Surrounding Iron Mountains,
In the oceans, and underground.

He will be able to know by smell
Whether asuras and their daughters
And their attendants are fighting
Or playing with each other.

Lotus Sutra, Chapter 19

About this project

Myōhō Renge Kyō Promise for April 25, 2025

I expound only to people of profound wisdom
Myōhō Renge Kyō
Because men of little wisdom would doubt Myōhō Renge Kyō,
And not understand Myōhō Renge Kyō even if they heard Myōhō Renge Kyō.
No Śrāvaka
Or Pratyekabuddha
Can understand
Myōhō Renge Kyō.

Myōhō Renge Kyō Promise for April 24, 2025

“Mañjuśrī! Myōhō Renge Kyō is the treasury of the hidden core of the Buddhas, of the Tathāgatas. Myōhō Renge Kyō is superior to all the other sūtras. I kept Myōhō Renge Kyō [in secret] and refrained from expounding Myōhō Renge Kyō for the long night. Now I expound Myōhō Renge Kyō to you today for the first time.”

Myōhō Renge Kyō Promise for April 23, 2025

“Medicine-King! Suppose a man on a plateau felt thirsty and sought water. He dug a hole in order to get water. As long as he saw the dug-out lumps of earth were dry, he knew that water was still far off. He went on digging, and then found the dug-out lumps of earth wet. When he finally found mud, he was convinced that water was near. In the same manner, know this, the Bodhisattvas who have not yet heard, understood or practised Myōhō Renge Kyō, are still far from Anuttara-samyak-saṃbodhi.”

Anyone who keeps Myōhō Renge Kyō
Will be able to see me. He also will be able to see
Many-Treasures Buddha,
[The Buddhas of] my replicas,
And the Bodhisattvas whom I have taught today.

Myōhō Renge Kyō Promise for April 21, 2025

About this project

Myōhō Renge Kyō Promise for April 20, 2025

Expound Myōhō Renge Kyō to the Buddha’s sons
Who expound the Dharma without hindrance
To the great multitude
With their pure minds
By telling them
Various stories of previous lives,
Parables and similes,
And also by giving them various discourses!

Myōhō Renge Kyō Promise for April 19, 2025

[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.

About this project

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.
