Those who hear of my longevity of which I told you, and understand the meaning of my words, will be able to obtain innumerable merits, which will help them attain the unsurpassed wisdom of the Tathāgata. Needless to say, those who hear Myōhō Renge Kyō, cause others to hear Myōhō Renge Kyō, keep Myōhō Renge Kyō, cause others to keep Myōhō Renge Kyō, copy Myōhō Renge Kyō, cause others to copy Myōhō Renge Kyō, or offer flowers, incense, necklaces, banners, streamers, canopies, perfumed oil, and lamps of butter oil to a copy of Myōhō Renge Kyō, will be able to obtain immeasurable merits.
