Ultimately, the largest treasure and most precious “benefit” one will receive is none other than the Buddha’s enlightenment. This goes without saying, that in the true spirit of the Lotus Sutra, one need not first be a holy or religious man in order to benefit from this practice. It does not matter whether one is a priest, lay person, man, woman, educated or not, employed, non­employed, perfect, imperfect, with or without problems, etc. A human being is always a human being, and before the Buddha, all are equal. Buddhism therefore addresses all life in an entirely impartial manner. All living beings can become a Buddha, without exception.
