The Significance of Offering a Donation to the Lotus Sūtra

I have written exhaustively about your deep resolution to make a donation for the cause of the Lotus Sūtra that my writing brush is worn out and my fingers are too tired to hold the brush. It may be possible to count the number of rain drops falling in seven days over the triple thousand worlds. There must be a person who knows the amount of dust on the earth in all the worlds throughout the universe. In contrast, however, the Buddha has declared that the merit of offering a donation to just one character of the Lotus Sūtra is unfathomably great. Please realize the significance of offering a donation to the Lotus Sūtra through this teaching.
