In the Taking Refuge in the Three Treasures (Kie-Sanbō), Dōgen particularly singled out the Lotus Sūtra for praise.

The Lotus Sūtra is the one great purpose of the buddha tathāgatas. Of all the sūtras preached by the Great Teacher Śākyamuni, the Lotus Sūtra is the great king and is the great teacher. Other sūtras and other Dharmas are all the subjects and the retinue of the Lotus Sūtra. What is preached in the Lotus Sūtra is just the truth; what is preached in other sūtras always includes skillful means, which are not the Buddha’s fundamental intention. If we evoked preaching contained in other sūtras in order to compare and appraise the Lotus Sūtra, that would be backwards. Without being covered by the influence of the merit of the Lotus Sūtra, other sūtras could not exist. Other sūtras are all waiting to devote themselves to the Lotus Sūtra.
