The Actual Precept Dais

Regarding the kaidan center for the practice of the Lotus Sūtra, should it not be established at the most outstanding place resembling the Pure Land of the Mt. Sacred Eagle with the blessing of an imperial edict and a shogunal directive? Should it not be at such a time when the laws of the kingdom and Buddhist dharmas are in perfect accord with both king and his subjects all believing in the three great secret dharmas revealed in the essential section of the Lotus Sūtra, and the meritorious works of King Virtuous and Monk Virtue Consciousness in the past recur in the evil and corrupt world in the Latter Age of Degeneration? We have to wait for the opportune time for its realization. This is what we call the actual precept dais (ji-no-kaidan), where all the people of India, China and Japan as well as of the Sahā World should repent their sins. Furthermore, such heavenly beings as the great King of the Brahma Heaven and Indra should come to assemble to practice the Lotus teaching.

After the establishment of this kaidan of the essential section of the Lotus Sūtra, the one on Mt. Hiei based on the theoretical section of the sūtra would be useless.
