Quotes
"It may be that one could count the number of raindrops falling in a major world system over a seven-day period, and that one could know the number of particles of dust in the worlds in the ten directions. However, the benefit from offering a single word of the Lotus Sutra is beyond reckoning. This is what Shakyamuni Buddha teaches."
-Nichiren
"With the eyes given by their parents that
They see both all the manifold cosmos, Within and beyond mount Mercedes, Sumeru, up to Mount Cakravada
And many other mountains,
Forests, oceans, rivers, and streams,
Down To the lowest hell
And up to the summit of the universe.
The ear, given by the parents,
Is pure and spotless;
With this natural ear
They hear the sounds of the manifold cosmos."
-Lotus Sutra
