Putting aside the current situation for now and focusing on the future instead, those in power in Japan will all fall into 136 hells and suffer there for innumerable kalpa (aeons). On the other hand, we devotees of the Lotus Sūtra will be as joyous as fish in shallow water that see the cloudy sky, a sure sign that the rains are near. We may have to suffer awhile, but we will know happiness in the end. We are like the sole crown prince of a king. How can it be that he does not ascend the throne?
