When we read the Lotus Sūtra, the “Teacher of the Dharma” chapter declares: “The Buddha covers these people (who believe in the Lotus Sūtra) with His robe, and they are protected by all the Buddhas in the universe.” This means that the Buddhas of all the worlds in every direction come together to fill the four million, hundred million nayuta of the worlds beside the triple thousand worlds. They are crowded together, like stars in the sky, or rice and hemp plants on earth, ready to help practicers of the Lotus Sūtra. It is like a crown prince of a great king protected by many retainers.
