In the past a boy named Tokushō offered a rice cake made from sand to Śākyamuni Buddha and thereby was reborn in this world as Emperor Aśoka, who ruled the Jambudvīpa and eventually became a Buddha. Now you have offered fruits and other items to the Lotus Sūtra, and I can imagine how happy the ten female rākṣasa demons, protectors of the Lotus Sūtra, are. It is difficult to write all that I want to say. Please allow me to write you again. Namu Myōhō Renge Kyō. Namu Myōhō Renge Kyō.
