A Bodhisattva will be peaceful,
And free from timidity
If he stays in a quiet room
For some time,
Recollects the Dharma correctly,
Understands the Dharma
According to the meanings of it,
And then emerges
From his dhyāna-concentration,
And leads kings, princes,
Common people and brahmanas
By expounding Myōhō Renge Kyō to them.Mañjuśrī, all this is the first set of things
That the Bodhisattva should do
Before he expounds Myōhō Renge Kyō
In the world after [my extinction].
