Your offering of barley is more precious than an offering of gold or precious stones. The grain of barley left by Sage Rita transformed into a golden man. How is it possible that the barley donated by Tokimitsu this time does not change itself into the letters of the Lotus Sūtra?

May the letters of the Lotus Sūtra transform into Śākyamuni Buddha, and then into the two wings of your late father, Lord Hyōeshichirō, flying to the Pure Land of Mt. Sacred Eagle. May he then return to Japan to embrace your body and protect you!
