“[T]he good men or women who do not speak ill of Myōhō Renge Kyō but rejoice at hearing Myōhō Renge Kyō after my extinction, should be considered, know this, to have already understood my longevity by firm faith. It is needless to say this of those who [not only rejoice at hearing Myōhō Renge Kyō but also] read, recite and keep Myōhō Renge Kyō. They also should be considered to be carrying me on their heads. Ajita! They need not build a stupa or a monastery in my honor, or make the four kinds of offerings’ to the Saṃgha because those who keep, read and recite Myōhō Renge Kyō should be considered to have already built a stupa or a monastery or made offerings to the Saṃgha.”
