One Chinese character of the Lotus Sūtra gives birth to all things as the great earth does. It is like the ocean that absorbs all the river waters. It brightens the entire world as the sun and moon do. What is more, it becomes the moon, which in turn changes to a Buddha. The seed of a rice plant becomes a rice seedling, which in turn becomes a rice plant, grains of rice, then a human being and finally a Buddha. Likewise, a woman, through her faith in the Lotus Sūtra, becomes the character Myō, which in turn becomes Śākyamuni Buddha on the lotus pedestal. Namu Myōhō Renge Kyō. Namu Myōhō Renge Kyō.
