Because I see that my soldiers led by generals, that is, by sages and saints, have already obtained extraordinary merits in their fight with the Mara of the five aggregates, with the Mara of illusions, and with the Mara of death, and that they have already eliminated the three poisons, left the triple world, and destroyed the nets of the Maras, I now expound Myōhō Renge Kyō with great joy. Myōhō Renge Kyō leads all living beings to the knowledge of all things. I did not expound Myōhō Renge Kyō before because, if I had done so, many people in the world would have hated it and few would have believed it.
