Sakyamuni Buddha said to the Buddha Abundant Treasures: “This Bodhisattva Wonder Sound desires to see you.” Instantly the Buddha Abundant Treasures addressed Wonder Sound: “Excellent, excellent, that you have been able to come here to pay homage to Sakyamuni Buddha, to hear the Law-Flower Sutra, and to see Mañjuśrī and the others.”

The words spoken by the Buddha Abundant Treasures contain an important meaning. As a witness to the truth, the Buddha Abundant Treasures declared clearly in his praise of the Bodhisattva Wonder Sound that the first requisite for everybody is always to do the following three things: to pay homage to Sakyamuni Buddha, who preached the truth; to hear the teaching of the truth, namely, the Lotus Sutra; and to follow the pattern of the virtuous bodhisattvas who practice the teaching.
